00:01:22.680 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,

00:01:36.240 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.

00:01:41.020 I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:01:42.960 So what happens when the justice system fails Canadians by releasing pedophiles into communities?

00:01:48.720 Well, some people are literally confronting these freed monsters, naming and shaming them.

00:01:56.040 Sheila Gunn-Reed has some awesome video evidence on that file. 1.00

00:02:00.380 And there's this beautiful mural in Calgary that some people wanted to deface with Black Lives Matter propaganda.

00:02:08.320 Quick, call the mayor.

00:02:10.840 Just one hitch, folks.

00:02:12.580 He actually supported this ludicrous social justice scheme until a huge outcry derailed the desecration.

00:02:21.220 Kian Bexty has all the details.

00:02:23.420 And finally, letters.

00:02:24.560 We get your letters.

00:02:25.320 We get your letters every minute of every day.

00:02:27.380 And I'll share some of your responses regarding my visit to Coburg, Ontario, last Saturday.

00:02:33.200 It was all about reclaiming beach freedom there in a legal fashion.

00:02:37.960 But then law enforcement showed up and all heck broke loose.

00:02:42.120 Just will you see that footage.

00:02:44.140 Those are your rebels.

00:02:45.260 Now let's round them up.

00:02:46.560 That's the case with sex offender Barry Odenbach from North Edmonton. 0.59

00:02:57.720 He sexually violated a vulnerable girl when he was in a position of authority.

00:03:03.760 So Sherry and the gang from People vs. Predators flew into action. 0.94

00:03:07.800 They organized a community awareness campaign, a community barbecue, a massive biker motorcade 1.00

00:03:15.220 that escorted the teenage victim from the airport back into the community

00:03:19.900 where she wanted to have the opportunity to confront her offender

00:03:23.740 with the help of a standing army of bikers and community activists at her side.

00:03:33.540 Community doesn't want any predators in the neighborhood, Barry.

00:03:37.800 Community doesn't want any predators in the neighborhood.

00:03:41.060 Barry Odenbach.

00:03:44.020 Silencing my daughter doesn't change what you think.

00:03:48.360 Oh, Barry.

00:03:49.600 Barry.

00:03:52.920 How dare you take a gift and try and break her. 0.97

00:03:59.160 I gave you a gift.

00:04:01.540 Barry.

00:04:02.900 The greatest gift that should ever be given.

00:04:05.920 I think we found the predator's house.

00:04:07.800 Well, it's coming up!

00:04:09.800 Here we go there, Barry. Barry Odenbach.

00:04:16.800 I'd like you to leave the neighborhood.

00:04:18.800 That's what happened, buddy.

00:04:19.800 Oh, well, then we're not going anywhere there, pal.

00:04:22.800 I want to know one thing.

00:04:23.800 Call him.

00:04:24.800 I want to know one thing.

00:04:25.800 How dare you guys take the most innocent gift on this planet and try and break her?

00:04:31.800 How does one get charged with sexual interference on a minor

00:04:34.800 and stand here and try to act tough?

00:04:37.800 Come on, champ.

00:04:38.800 How do you know all these toys when she's going to live the rest of her life? 0.92

00:04:41.800 How dare you? 0.98

00:04:42.800 Trying to commit suicide. 1.00

00:04:43.800 How dare you? 1.00

00:04:45.800 Do you realize that? 0.64

00:04:46.800 Shame!

00:04:47.800 Shame!

00:04:48.800 Shame!

00:04:49.800 Don't say your name there, buddy.

00:04:51.800 Shame on you! 1.00

00:04:53.800 What?

00:04:54.800 You realize what you're doing?

00:04:55.800 You realize what you're doing?

00:04:56.800 We do realize what we're doing.

00:04:57.800 Yes, I do.

00:04:58.800 We're standing up against a peaceful protest. 0.86

00:04:59.800 We're standing up against a convicted pedophile.

00:05:02.800 On public property.

00:05:03.800 On public property. 0.52

00:05:05.800 Sexual affair.

00:05:07.800 Barry Odenbach called the cops on the protesters who were peacefully protesting his presence in the community.

00:05:14.800 Now, they'll also do this for the next four days.

00:05:17.800 Five cop cars showed up.

00:05:20.800 But once the police realized that People vs Predators has the consent of the community and are abiding by all bylaws and noise restrictions,

00:05:29.800 the police left, obviously having much better things to do than worry about the feelings of monsters.

00:05:36.800 Wow, now that is just gripping footage, folks.

00:05:39.800 And it speaks volumes, doesn't it?

00:05:41.800 Namely, when a pedophile is allowed to freely roam in a neighborhood that is full of kids,

00:05:47.800 and he's living in a house that is adjacent to a public park,

00:05:51.800 then there's something seriously wrong with the justice system.

00:05:55.800 Joining me now with more on this sordid story is Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:06:00.800 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.

00:06:02.800 Hey, David.

00:06:03.800 Thanks for having me on the show.

00:06:04.800 Oh, it's always a pleasure.

00:06:06.800 Sheila, that was an incredible video.

00:06:09.800 And it just goes to show you that if the justice system isn't going to do its job by locking up child predators,

00:06:17.800 well, then there's nothing stopping good citizens from naming and shaming these monsters who are lurking in the neighborhood.

00:06:25.800 Is there now?

00:06:27.800 No, not really.

00:06:28.800 I mean, I suppose it requires a little initiative, and this is, I mean, the information is publicly available.

00:06:35.800 You just have to know where to look.

00:06:37.800 As far as most police services go, they consider posting the news of a sex offender's release to a community on their press release website.

00:06:52.800 That's all the notification that the community needs.

00:06:57.800 And often, I mean, normal citizens don't go and do that.

00:07:00.800 And that's where people versus predators are stepping up and filling the gap.

00:07:04.800 They do look at that information, and then they do go to the communities to let people know.

00:07:09.800 From what I understand, the predator in question, he's considering an appeal of his conviction.

00:07:16.800 But as far as right now, he's a convicted sex offender against a child, and the community didn't know.

00:07:24.800 But, you know, Sheila, sometimes the citizens don't even get that, i.e. information from the police website.

00:07:30.800 We've discussed before how earlier this year I went out to Hamilton.

00:07:35.800 The infamous Gordon Stuckless, the Maple Leaf Gardens pedophile and sex offender, he was in a Hamilton halfway house. 0.99

00:07:44.800 And when I did streeters with people in the neighborhood, and there were parks there, there were kids there, there were schools nearby.

00:07:50.800 Nobody knew they were thanking me for this information.

00:07:55.800 Why is there a problem with transparency?

00:07:59.800 Why does it seem that the justice system and law enforcement is more concerned with, I don't know, the privacy rights of pedophiles,

00:08:07.800 as opposed to the safety rights of law-abiding citizens living in that neighborhood?

00:08:13.800 Well, that's the thing.

00:08:14.800 I don't think people...I'm normally someone who thinks that if you've served your time and you've, you know, expressed some remorse,

00:08:26.800 or, you know what, not even expressed some remorse, maybe you killed a bad guy, I don't care.

00:08:30.800 But if you did your time and you did it as best you could, yeah, you know what, I believe in redemption.

00:08:37.800 I believe in people getting the opportunity to restart their life and do something different with their life.

00:08:43.800 But these crimes against children are a special category of criminal.

00:08:49.800 The recidivism rates are unbelievable.

00:08:52.800 The amount of victims that they have before they're caught or before they're even charged with their first offense, unbelievably high.

00:09:01.800 This is a different kind of creature.

00:09:04.800 People who commit crimes against children, and for the sake of the community, they deserve to know.

00:09:10.800 However, they still end up with the same sort of treatment from the legal system where they've done their time.

00:09:17.800 A lot of them, they do cooperate when they're in prison because that's how you get out early, and they know that.

00:09:25.800 So they do that, they get let out, and as far as the legal system's concerned, they're free to go.

00:09:32.800 And there really should be some other form of treatment for these sex offenders, and especially the recidivist ones, 1.00

00:09:42.800 so that the community is always aware that they're there.

00:09:46.800 But Sheila, this is the issue as far as I can see it.

00:09:50.800 Like yourself, I believe in redemption and second chances.

00:09:53.800 But there's something different about pedophiles as opposed to a habitual shoplifter or a car thief.

00:10:02.800 These are different cats.

00:10:04.800 We know, for the most part, they are hardwired this way.

00:10:09.800 They lust after minors. 0.99

00:10:11.800 It's disgusting. 1.00

00:10:12.800 It's despicable. 0.89

00:10:13.800 But what about we take the leftist point of view?

00:10:16.800 Oh, you know, have sympathy for the offender.

00:10:18.800 Okay.

00:10:19.800 That also makes the case then, Sheila, to lock this person away for their own protection and our protection at the same time.

00:10:28.800 Because, you know, as a mature male, what kind of a horrible curse would that be if you were conditioned in a way that you were sexually attracted to little children?

00:10:42.800 There's no cure for it.

00:10:44.800 So I'm arguing, Sheila, as far as I can tell, the system is fatally flawed by the fact that these people can get released in the first place.

00:10:54.800 Well, and that's one of the things that was brought to my attention by People vs. Predators by Sherry Easton, who sort of does a lot of the research.

00:11:02.800 There's a lot of times where these recidivists, like long-time recidivist sex offenders, they've been in court, in and out, convicted for the last 20 years, some of them. 0.64

00:11:16.800 Somewhere along the way, prosecutors fail to bring forward dangerous offenders' applications.

00:11:24.800 And so it could be done.

00:11:26.800 So it could be done that these guys are deemed to be dangerous offenders and are held indefinitely.

00:11:32.800 If they are released, they could be closely monitored, much the same way they tried to monitor Carla Homolka when she got out before she was able to get a pardon and change her name.

00:11:42.800 It's sort of like a restraining order between the community, the police, and the offender.

00:11:47.800 They can do those sorts of things.

00:11:49.800 Those tools exist in the system.

00:11:51.800 For some reason, the Crown prosecutors aren't bringing them forward.

00:11:55.800 And that's a real falling down.

00:11:56.800 And I think Sherry and People vs. Predators, they're trying to work towards change in legislation so that thing automatically happens.

00:12:05.800 And it's not left up to the discretion of overwhelmed Crown prosecutors.

00:12:10.800 And Sheila, you raised another question.

00:12:12.800 You are right.

00:12:13.800 In terms to somebody being slapped with dangerous offender status, they very, you know, they don't use that tool frequently at all.

00:12:26.800 It's put out very sparingly.

00:12:28.800 But my point of view is, if you are sexually assaulting a child, and sometimes you're a serial sex assaulter of children, it seems like to me a slam dunk, you're a dangerous offender. 0.99

00:12:42.800 Well, yeah. 0.99

00:12:43.800 And it's not just sometimes you're a serial sex offender against children.

00:12:46.800 It's more often than not that they are serial sex offenders against children.

00:12:51.800 And when you look at the damage, the lifetime of damage one act can do to a child, I mean, it just compounds in someone's life over and over and over again.

00:13:04.800 It infects and damages every aspect of a child victim's life.

00:13:09.800 If that's not dangerous and if that's not damaging to society, I don't really know what is.

00:13:14.800 Well, you know, Sheila, once again, a great video.

00:13:17.800 And I love this organization, People vs. Predators.

00:13:20.800 I mean, the fact that, you know, if the justice system won't, you know, lay out justice as it should be,

00:13:27.800 there's nothing stopping these people from gathering outside on a public sidewalk and naming and shaming this person.

00:13:36.800 And if they're making this pedophile's life a living hell, I say, good on you, keep doing it.

00:13:42.800 And I was so happy to see that the police who responded, they checked out the situation and they said,

00:13:48.800 we're not, we're not taking, we're not having any part of this.

00:13:51.800 We are, they're not breaking any law as far as we can see.

00:13:54.800 And they left.

00:13:55.800 So good on the Edmonton police service for that as well.

00:13:58.800 Yeah.

00:13:59.800 I thought that was really great.

00:14:00.800 You never really know the kind of cops you're going to get when, when they get called on.

00:14:03.800 Yeah, but it's, yeah, the sex offender did call the cops.

00:14:09.800 Five cop cars responded, which was a lot.

00:14:12.800 But I guess when you call and say there are 40 bikers on my lawn, you do get an adequate police response.

00:14:19.800 But when the police got there, because Sherry and People vs. Predators are very careful to make sure that they have the consent of the community to be there

00:14:28.800 because they are there sort of on behalf of the community.

00:14:33.800 And, you know, they, they make sure they're following all the laws.

00:14:36.800 They're, they're, you know, avoiding being on private property.

00:14:41.800 They follow all the noise by laws.

00:14:44.800 They, they don't do any trespassing or anything like that.

00:14:47.800 Try to keep the profanity to a minimum, although it's difficult when you're dealing with someone who's committed sex offenses against children.

00:14:53.800 And when the police showed up, they said, yeah, you know what, you're checking all the boxes as far as following all the rules.

00:15:01.800 And we have better things to do today than worry about the feelings of a sex offender, which I thought was great because you don't often see or, you know, in the day and age where we see police overstepping their boundaries, going just that step too far.

00:15:18.800 It was kind of nice to see how hands off they were.

00:15:21.800 Well, Sheila, once again, great video.

00:15:22.800 And please, my friend, keep on this while you don't see the mainstream media reporting on this.

00:15:27.800 So it's up to us to bring that other side of the story to our audience, as we so often do.

00:15:34.800 Once again, Sheila, thank you so much.

00:15:37.800 Thanks, David.

00:15:38.800 And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the hinterland of Northern Alberta.

00:15:43.800 Keep it here, folks.

00:15:44.800 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:15:46.800 Black Lives Matter was hours away from destroying a beautiful masterpiece in downtown Calgary, giving wings to the dream, it's called. 0.98

00:15:58.800 And it has been a part of the Calgary cityscape for over 25 years. 0.91

00:16:02.800 Black Lives Matter, well, they hate beautiful things and they hate everything about our society. 1.00

00:16:07.800 They want to destroy it. 0.93

00:16:08.800 Mayor Naheed Nenshi, well, he's exactly the same.

00:16:10.800 And that's why he teamed up with Pink Flamingo, a surrogate for Black Lives Matter, giving them $120,000 to destroy this piece of artwork and to cover it up with radical extremist Black Lives Matter propaganda. 0.75

00:16:24.800 And also to add three more installations somewhere throughout the city.

00:16:29.800 Now, the good news today is they're backtracking.

00:16:32.800 Pink Flamingo actually conceded. 0.67

00:16:34.800 They say that the city isn't ready for their radical brand of activism.

00:16:38.800 And guess what?

00:16:39.800 I agree.

00:16:40.800 Listen to this.

00:16:41.800 Pink Flamingo will be postponing our mural project to summer 2021 due to the violent vitriol, racism and threats we've received in the last 36 hours.

00:16:50.800 The artist is free to change their mind or express themselves as they see fit.

00:16:54.800 And we must adapt to this because of the power dynamic.

00:16:57.800 It's not in our favor for a variety of reasons.

00:17:00.800 Cry me a river.

00:17:02.800 Our vision for this wall is one of hope, evolutionizing this message by hearing it from the perspective of a racialized artist.

00:17:09.800 Well, I'm not sure what evolutionizing means, but I'm also not sure what you mean by a racialized artist.

00:17:15.800 See, the whole shtick for this was that it was going to be a QT BIPOC person painting this, whatever that means.

00:17:21.800 I don't like getting into their crazy jargon.

00:17:23.800 But the point here is that the artist was as white as they come.

00:17:28.800 Katie Green is her name and check out some of her artwork for yourself. 0.54

00:17:33.800 And I use the term art generously.

00:17:35.800 Now, in case you weren't totally sold on how white this person actually is, watch how she dances. 1.00

00:17:41.800 This whole project encapsulates Black Lives Matter so perfectly. 0.99

00:17:45.800 They wanted to destroy, and they still do, they want to destroy the beautiful things about our society.

00:17:51.800 They wanted to turn this into this.

00:17:55.800 Well, folks, I may not know art, but I know what I like, and I know what I don't like.

00:18:02.800 Suffice to say, the Hope mural is gorgeous, whereas what appears to be a pornographic image rendered by a fourth grader is downright hideous.

00:18:12.800 And to think the idea of defacing this gorgeous Calgary mural had the backing of the mayor?

00:18:21.800 Incredible.

00:18:23.800 And joining me now on this story about art and extremist politics is my colleague, Kian Bexte.

00:18:30.800 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, my friend.

00:18:32.800 Hey, David.

00:18:33.800 So, Kian, Calgary is a big city, and I presume there are plenty of blank canvases, so to speak, that are out there on other buildings.

00:18:42.800 So, who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to go after a beloved and beautiful mural by painting BLM propaganda over it?

00:18:52.800 I mean, what is the real agenda here, Kian?

00:18:55.800 The real agenda is to destroy beautiful things.

00:18:58.800 That's what Antifa does. 1.00

00:18:59.800 They hate society.

00:19:00.800 They hate how it looks.

00:19:01.800 They hate what it represents.

00:19:03.800 And Naheed Nenshi, Calgary's radical mayor, who used to be somewhat of a moderate, has now gone full Black Lives Matter, has gone full anti-Calgary, anti-society, anti-Western values, and has decided that destroying beautiful pieces of artwork is the way to appease his radical base the best.

00:19:32.800 You know, Kian, give me some understanding of why this mayor has been elected and re-elected in Calgary.

00:19:40.800 Because when I...

00:19:41.800 I've been to Calgary.

00:19:42.800 I mean, it's cow town, for goodness sake. 1.00

00:19:44.800 It's all about Western heritage.

00:19:45.800 It's the home of the Calgary Stampede.

00:19:49.800 How does a progressive like this get voted in by the majority of Calgary residents in the first place?

00:19:56.800 That's a good question, and it's a question Calgarians keep asking over and over again.

00:20:01.800 Um, Nenshi always seems to be able to squeeze back in.

00:20:06.800 At the beginning, he ran, as I said earlier, on a moderate campaign.

00:20:10.800 Um, and, and Calgarians, although we vote conservative federally and provincially especially, uh, we, we don't tend to do that municipally.

00:20:20.800 And it seems to be this conundrum the municipalities in Canada face across the board.

00:20:26.800 Municipalities are always more left-wing than their constituency.

00:20:30.800 And I, I would say that it has something to do with the fact that the services being rendered by that government institution are so much more direct on the person that people are willing to, you know, compromise on their values to hire someone.

00:20:45.800 Uh, to, to, to vote someone in who, you know, is going to clean their street or is going to shovel the snow on the streets.

00:20:54.800 Uh, is going to pay to get that kind of basic infrastructure done.

00:20:57.800 But along with that comes the radical socialist agenda because, uh, it's, it's never just, they, they can never set aside the fiscal politics with the social politics.

00:21:07.800 So we get this, this mayor who's, you know, there to provide your, your transit, your street cleaning, all that.

00:21:13.800 Uh, but then we also get the, the, uh, along with that, the radical socialist agenda, Marxist, cultural Marxist agenda of destroying nice things just to appease black lives matter. 0.95

00:21:25.800 Yeah, it's fascinating.

00:21:26.800 I mean, I, like I said, I, I would have thought that the last Canadian city to embrace a mayor like Nancy would, would be Calgary. 0.99

00:21:35.800 But, you know, Kian, if you were to poll, if we had a referendum on that mural and we asked Calgarians, hey, are you all down with the idea of painting BLM propaganda over this gorgeous piece of art?

00:21:49.800 Um, what would the majority, I mean, what percentage would come out and say, yeah, this is a great idea as opposed to the percentage that would say, are you crazy?

00:22:00.800 It would, there would be an overwhelming support for keeping the mural where it is.

00:22:05.800 People love that mural.

00:22:06.800 In fact, uh, one radical black lives matter activist, uh, actually started their own petition to keep the mural, uh, because they said that it was such a terrible idea that it would have done harm to the black lives matter movement to go through with it.

00:22:23.800 It would have been so bad that even black lives matter started worrying about the PR. 0.94

00:22:28.800 Wow.

00:22:29.800 That's incredible.

00:22:30.800 I didn't know that.

00:22:31.800 You know, you've really jumped the shark when you get that kind of, uh, response.

00:22:35.800 But, you know, even so the way I look at it, uh, Kian, uh, black lives matter Antifa, when they have their marches, you know, they're all about vandalism. 0.71

00:22:44.800 They're all about, um, either tearing down or defacing statues with paint to like they've done here in Toronto with the Sir John A. McDonald statue.

00:22:52.800 He's at Queens Park.

00:22:53.800 He's now contained in a box like a coffin so that no, none of the, uh, progressives get, uh, triggered to vandalize it anymore.

00:23:01.800 But what I saw, what makes, I think, your story so incredible is they were actually reaching out to get government permission and endorsement to vandalize a beautiful mural.

00:23:14.800 And they got it.

00:23:15.800 And then of course, Nancy flip flop. 1.00

00:23:17.800 What was the reason for the mayor doing that flip flop?

00:23:21.800 Uh, I think he underestimated the backlash that could be generated by, by, uh, media that wasn't on his side.

00:23:29.800 He's used to just like Justin Trudeau.

00:23:31.800 He's used to the CBC locally in Calgary, CTV, global news, uh, city news, 660 news, which, you know, uh, we spoke earlier about the communists that runs their political reporting there.

00:23:44.800 He's used to people following, falling in line with him.

00:23:47.800 And you know what?

00:23:48.800 Rebel news hasn't been on the, you know, municipal Calgary beat so much.

00:23:53.800 Um, we cover countrywide politics, a lot of stuff in Toronto.

00:23:57.800 We haven't focused a lot on Nenshi.

00:23:58.800 And I think that needs to change because once we did, once we started raising hell with our reporting, he did a one, uh, 180 almost immediately, overnight, in fact.

00:24:10.800 So, um, I think that, that, uh, we should, we need to, uh, be, be more on, on Nenshi's, uh, trail because I think that the work speaks for itself.

00:24:22.800 Yeah, it's horrible, but not surprising that there'd be so many members of the media that think that this would be an actual great idea in terms of, uh, social justice.

00:24:31.800 One last thing.

00:24:32.800 Thankfully, this didn't get through, but Kian, do you see the double standard, though, in Canada?

00:24:36.800 We've had, um, Sir John A. MacDonald statues, uh, well, we had it removed by Victoria.

00:24:42.800 Um, we've had the one in Toronto vandalized, uh, frequently with, um, pink paint.

00:24:48.800 We've had the one in Kingston, um, had eggs and rocks thrown at it.

00:24:54.800 And, uh, the mainstream media just, you know, shrugs its shoulders and, oh, well, this is just, you know, uh, boys will be boys.

00:25:01.800 These are protesters making a point.

00:25:03.800 Yet, when the Pierre Elliott Trudeau statue in Thornhill, um, gets defaced with some paint, uh, twice now.

00:25:11.800 That is a hate crime.

00:25:12.800 It is a hate crime.

00:25:13.800 York Regional Police is investigating this as a hate crime.

00:25:17.800 Why is it we even have statute double standards here, uh, Kian? 0.77

00:25:22.800 I, well, it's because of, uh, well, and I'm not sure about the police authority in that particular, uh, area.

00:25:31.800 But, um, by and large, across the country, provinces that enlist the RCMP to do their business, uh, to, to do their law enforcement, um, are run by the radical leftist Brenda Lucky.

00:25:43.800 Uh, someone who kisses away SNC Lavalin investigations with Justin Trudeau.

00:25:48.800 Someone who is absolutely not going to be investigating Justin Trudeau for this we scandal.

00:25:53.800 Um, it's, it comes down to law enforcement in this country leaning, leaning leftwards.

00:25:58.800 Now, I, I also, I, I can't relate fully because you know what?

00:26:01.800 And it's something that I'm kind of sad about because it seems to be a lot of, um, content generation.

00:26:06.800 But in Calgary, there's not many statues.

00:26:08.800 There's no, like, there's, I don't, I don't even know if there is one statue of John A. MacDonald in Calgary at all, uh, much less Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

00:26:16.800 I'm kind of jealous.

00:26:18.800 Well, I'm sure there's no, uh, urgency by anyone these days to put up statues.

00:26:23.800 And if you're to put up a statue commemorating, I guess, you know, the Calgary Stampede, um, you know, a cowboy on a bucking bronco, um, the climate we're in, surely PETA would lose its mind and, uh, do some kind of statue pull down.

00:26:37.800 We need one for Stephen Harper.

00:26:39.800 Yeah.

00:26:40.800 So, Kian, great report and, uh, thank you so much and you have a good weekend, my friend.

00:26:45.800 You too, David.

00:26:46.800 And that was Kian Bexty in Calgary.

00:26:49.800 Keep it here, folks.

00:26:50.800 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:26:57.800 Well, talk about beach blanket brouhaha.

00:27:00.800 You know, folks, upon being informed by our newest Rebel, Tamara Ugolini, I simply could not believe what I was hearing.

00:27:08.800 That the residents of Coburg, Ontario and the tourists coming to Coburg still were not going down to Coburg's beautiful beach, even though there's a legal way to do so.

00:27:21.800 You see, Coburg's eastern beach now resembles post-war Berlin thanks to a steel fence preventing residents and tourists alike from having fun in the sun there.

00:27:32.800 Social distancing, you understand.

00:27:35.800 But there is indeed a loophole when it comes to accessing the beach.

00:27:39.800 If a swimmer goes into the lake via the pier area, they are home free given that the town does not have any jurisdiction over the actual water.

00:27:50.800 In a video we aired last month, we proved this to be true.

00:27:54.800 And so long as my feet don't touch the shore, then there's no problem.

00:27:58.800 Wow.

00:27:59.800 And I can get right up to like ankle depth and my feet don't touch dry sand.

00:28:02.800 I'm not breaking any loss.

00:28:03.800 Well, have a nice swim.

00:28:04.800 Thank you.

00:28:05.800 Thank you.

00:28:06.800 Thank you.

00:28:07.800 Thank you.

00:28:08.800 Thank you.

00:28:09.800 Splash down.

00:28:10.800 Hey, how does the speeder feel like?

00:28:12.800 Oh, I love it.

00:28:13.800 I love it.

00:28:14.800 The water's beautiful.

00:28:15.800 And yet, even on a gorgeous, hot and humid August Saturday afternoon, nobody was taking advantage of their rights.

00:28:24.800 I found this baffling.

00:28:26.800 So, reimagining myself as an aquatic version of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, well, I jumped into the lake.

00:28:38.800 Indeed, this is something so many have told me to do for decades, actually.

00:28:42.800 And lo and behold, a few people actually followed me into the drink.

00:28:49.800 But what was meant to be a fun stunt, just a goof really, suddenly turned ugly as bylaw enforcement officers, special constables, and police officers descended upon the beach to observe if anyone would break the law by actually leaving the water and go upon the sandy beach.

00:29:11.800 Indeed, a bylaw officer told me that the rule is that if they can see both of the person's ankles, it is deemed that you are on land as opposed to being in the lake.

00:29:24.800 And that's when warnings and or charges are issued.

00:29:28.800 And no, I swear, I'm not making this up.

00:29:31.800 So, when you said the two ankle rule, that wasn't a literal interpretation.

00:29:35.800 I was just saying as a reference.

00:29:37.800 Oh, okay.

00:29:38.800 And incredibly, one of the individuals arrested was Tamara Ugolini's father.

00:29:45.800 In fact, he was even handcuffed.

00:29:48.800 Are you standing here?

00:29:51.800 I'm a witness here.

00:29:52.800 Are you going to get arrested?

00:29:53.800 I'm a witness.

00:29:54.800 I'm a witness.

00:29:55.800 I'm a witness.

00:29:56.800 I just identified you with everybody.

00:29:58.800 I'm a witness.

00:29:59.800 Okay, unless I'm under arrest, you can't stop them.

00:30:02.800 You know what?

00:30:03.800 I'm a witness.

00:30:04.800 Oh, my God.

00:30:05.800 What am I under arrest for?

00:30:07.800 What am I under arrest for?

00:30:09.800 Stand back.

00:30:10.800 Stand back.

00:30:11.800 I'm not resisting.

00:30:12.800 I'm asking what I'm under arrest for.

00:30:14.800 Stay back.

00:30:15.800 Wow.

00:30:16.800 Welcome to the Democratic People's Republic of Coburg.

00:30:18.800 A place where you had best not dare venture upon the beach nor expose your ankles from the lake or else.

00:30:26.800 Just incredible.

00:30:27.800 In any event, here's what you had to say about the Monty Python-esque absurdity that exists right now in Coburg during these dark days of the Wuhan virus.

00:30:39.800 Canadian Civilian writes,

00:30:41.800 If any Canadian still thinks this is about a virus and not blatant authoritative control, then there's no hope for them.

00:30:49.800 Well, Canadian Civilian, we do have a virus situation to be sure, but the death toll numbers indicate this is really just a bad flu season.

00:30:58.800 As for the authoritative control, you're right.

00:31:01.800 Politicians of every political stripe received a taste of totalitarian power during this Wuhan virus emergency.

00:31:09.800 And as far as I can tell, they really liked the taste.

00:31:13.800 No wonder, duh, writes,

00:31:16.800 The only proper news media covering this sad state of Canada.

00:31:20.800 Well, thanks for the kind words, no wonder, duh.

00:31:23.800 But here's the thing.

00:31:25.800 I wager most of the people comprising the media party actually like and support these draconian measures being handed down by government.

00:31:35.800 After all, it is the government paying most of these media folks in the first place.

00:31:40.800 Outdoors Wit Derkit writes,

00:31:43.800 While murderers and child predators roam around, people trying to be normal humans are now the problem and police and political priorities.

00:31:52.800 Oh, come on, sir.

00:31:53.800 We have to let those degenerates out of prison. 0.64

00:31:56.800 Otherwise, how do we properly practice social distancing etiquette?

00:32:01.800 Jesse writes,

00:32:03.800 If you dress like a punk and start breaking stuff on the beach, you'll be just fine.

00:32:08.800 Oh, absolutely, Jesse.

00:32:10.800 These days, if you think you're about to attract the attention of law enforcement, merely claim that you are a Black Lives Matter protester, that's better than a get-out-of-jail-free card these days. 0.93

00:32:23.800 Arliss McCutcheon writes,

00:32:25.800 Under Sharia law, a woman can be stoned in a public square for exposing her ankles. 1.00

00:32:30.800 Here, men are arrested and fined for exposing ankles at a beach, in the water, under a conservative government.

00:32:37.800 Hey, you're right.

00:32:38.800 These days, Sharia law, Canadian law, really, what's the difference?

00:32:43.800 Lee Gagne writes,

00:32:45.800 This nonsense is getting totally out of control at the same time as tyrants are arresting people swimming.

00:32:51.800 Patrick Brown is breaking his own laws in Brampton with impunity.

00:32:55.800 I'm so tired of having our rights infringed upon under the guise of COVID-19.

00:33:01.800 You know, I wonder if Mayor Brown has a cottage in Coburg, folks.

00:33:06.800 I think he'd fit in there perfectly.

00:33:08.800 And Tumbleweed writes,

00:33:11.800 This is one mixed-up world we live in.

00:33:14.800 Good riddance, 2020.

00:33:16.800 Yeah, 2020 has been a horrible year right from the get-go, hasn't it?

00:33:21.800 The shooting down of the Ukrainian airliner in Iran.

00:33:24.800 The rail blockades that were paralyzing the country.

00:33:27.800 All those teacher strikes.

00:33:29.800 But those were just mere appetizers for the madness and pain that hit us with the Wuhan virus.

00:33:35.800 Just one hitch, though.

00:33:37.800 I fear this madness is going to carry over into 2021.

00:33:42.800 It seems like this horror show ain't ending anytime soon.

00:33:47.800 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:33:50.800 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:33:51.800 See you next week.

00:33:52.800 And hey, folks, never forget.

00:33:53.800 Without risk, there can be no glory.

00:33:56.800 Good night.

00:33:57.800 Good night.

00:33:58.800 Good night.

00:34:16.880 moved.

00:34:17.800 You
