00:01:08.400 Oh, hey, good morning, good afternoon, everybody. Depending on which part of this beautiful country

00:01:12.960 that you're in, you're watching the Rebel News Now daily show, Rebel Roundup. I'm your host,

00:01:19.460 Sheila Gunn-Reed, and I'm joined by, I guess, a rotating cast of characters. Today in that slot

00:01:25.060 is my friend and colleague, Tamara Ugolini. Tamara, how's it going?

00:01:29.960 Hey, Sheila. It's going pretty good. Thanks. How are you over on the west side? Still freezing cold?

00:01:35.300 Yeah, of course. Yeah.

00:01:37.460 Tis the season, I suppose.

00:01:38.580 Yeah, really looking forward to that carbon tax hike. My husband and I were talking the other day

00:01:44.980 about the cost of the carbon tax factoring into our gas bill. We're pretty frugal with our fossil

00:01:55.620 fuels around here, despite what the federal government would have you believe, that we're

00:01:59.400 just running the furnace and opening the doors, and we need this carbon tax to correct our bad

00:02:04.300 behavior. We were looking, and just even two months of the carbon tax on top of our pittance

00:02:13.060 of a gas bill just eats away at whatever carbon tax rebate they think they're sending you, where

00:02:19.340 you'll get richer from the federal government. We're like, it's just on this one thing. It's

00:02:24.960 like, bye after two months. What a scam, anyway.

00:02:28.060 We'll take your money, and then we'll somehow make up for it later with a fraction of what

00:02:32.400 we took from the entirety of the Canadian population. David Menzies did a wonderful piece

00:02:38.160 on the Enbridge, his Enbridge bill. I mean, I have been noticing this over the last year

00:02:43.900 and a bit, but especially with each incremental hike that the Liberals institute on us. My last

00:02:50.740 bill was crazy. I think the total was like $260 or something. We have really leaky, we have

00:02:56.460 a lot of glazing, a lot of windows. Anyway, I've been bugging my husband to do something

00:03:01.300 about that to tighten it up because our bills are crazy now with the carbon tax. Out of

00:03:06.440 that $268, our actual gas usage was something like $68. The carbon tax was actually more than

00:03:15.360 our usage, but because they tack on all these fees and expenses and delivery this and tax on

00:03:21.800 there, the carbon tax amounts to more than our breakdown of just our pure straight gas usage. It

00:03:29.360 is absolutely crazy. Yeah, I think we used like $54 in gas and the rest, like hundreds of dollars

00:03:37.160 of additional fees and the carbon tax. And I don't know how you can heat a house for less than $54

00:03:45.360 in Alberta. Like I don't know how we can get that number down. But the feds sure think we can because

00:03:51.920 they're taxing us to change our behavior, so they say. But enough complaining about bills that we all

00:03:58.220 have to face. I should tell everybody what we're doing here and then I'll tell everybody how they

00:04:03.180 can give us a little bit of their money if they'd like, if they have any money left over after Justin

00:04:08.700 Trudeau and the utility companies are done with you. As I said, this is the Rebel Roundup. It's a daily

00:04:14.720 show now. We're doing our best to talk about the news of the day completely unscripted, as you can

00:04:20.900 tell. And you'll get some of our hot takes or spicy takes and you know, you're going to get our

00:04:26.340 opinions sometimes as we watch these clips with you for the very first time. Although I do my best to

00:04:32.340 prep before I get on the show. Now, if you're watching us on YouTube, thank you for sticking it out

00:04:36.900 over there. I appreciate your stubbornness. I'm like that too. But if you'd like to support us here at

00:04:43.320 Rebel News, like I said, if you have some money left over and you just want to support the little

00:04:48.300 network that could, might I suggest you head on over to Rumble. It's a great free speech platform.

00:04:52.700 They are not going to censor you. They don't censor us. And they allow you, unlike YouTube,

00:04:58.140 which has demonetized us, to send us your support in the form of what's called a Rumble rant.

00:05:04.260 If it's over the $5 US cutoff, we're obligating ourselves to read it on air. We're making it

00:05:10.440 mandatory. But if it's under that $5 US cutoff, we generally make the time as best we can. But

00:05:17.040 there's no guarantee that you'll read it on air. But we do appreciate you because every little bit

00:05:21.180 helps. So that's sort of the rules around here. Let's get right into Donald Trump changing the

00:05:31.100 culture, like in his first six minutes on the job. So President Trump's peace through strength

00:05:39.400 diplomacy is working, says White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt, whom I really enjoy.

00:05:45.520 And she cites the tariff threats against Mexico and Canada as the reason both countries committed

00:05:49.880 to increasing border security. I'm worried Justin Trudeau isn't going to meet his obligations,

00:05:54.440 and then we're all going to get hammered again by tariffs. But let's just see.

00:05:59.240 We've already seen the results from President Trump's bold peace through strength diplomacy on

00:06:04.980 the world stage. In response to President Trump's tariffs this week, both Mexico and Canada took

00:06:11.140 immediate steps to alleviate the illegal alien migration and flow of deadly drugs, particularly

00:06:16.760 fentanyl, into our country. Mexico's President Claudia Scheinbaum agreed to permanently supply 10,000

00:06:24.600 Mexican soldiers on the U.S. border who will be specifically designated to stopping fentanyl and

00:06:30.160 criminal aliens from pouring into our country. And Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to

00:06:35.980 appoint a fentanyl czar, list cartels as terrorists, and increased resources to assist the 10,000 frontline

00:06:43.420 personnel at our northern border with Canada. In recognition of these steps, President Trump paused the

00:06:50.500 implementation of tariffs for one month while negotiations continue and final deals can be

00:06:55.040 structured.

00:06:57.820 I'm worried.

00:06:58.440 For one month.

00:06:59.600 Yeah.

00:07:00.980 Well, I'm worried.

00:07:02.520 Go ahead.

00:07:02.820 As we talked at length earlier in the week on the live stream, was it Monday or Wednesday? Anyway,

00:07:08.740 I don't remember. But it's shocking that it took this long and these threats for the liberals to

00:07:16.100 finally take action. We've had a whole campaign at fixourcities.com. I think we might also have .ca

00:07:22.640 calling on the government to do just that, clean up the streets, curb the crime, bring back a judicial

00:07:30.760 system that actually acts in the best interest of restoring justice in the country, and get the drugs

00:07:37.980 off of the streets. The things that are happening in cities, towns, and parks all across this country

00:07:45.300 is nothing new to anybody who has been paying attention the last few years. And it's crept out.

00:07:51.600 It's not just isolated anymore in the big cities. It's like homeless sprawl. Urban sprawl has come

00:07:59.200 out into these small towns and municipalities who don't have the social services or the infrastructure

00:08:06.100 to assist with these issues. And so it's become a real problem. And we've been highlighting that,

00:08:16.900 reporting on it, shining a light on it for the better part of a year, maybe even closer to two

00:08:21.280 years since that campaign was first launched. And finally, it took not Canadians caring about

00:08:26.620 the safety of their streets or the drug problem, but for the United States president to point it out

00:08:32.980 and threaten tariffs for the government to finally take action. It's absurd.

00:08:37.780 I just out of the corner of my eye, I was like, you know, how many people have actually died of

00:08:43.520 fentanyl in Canada? Because I thought if the number is large, then it is, of course, a failing of the

00:08:51.300 federal government to act to keep Canadians safe. You know, like they moved heaven and earth and they

00:08:56.120 shut everything down for three years over COVID. And that only affected basically the elderly and people

00:09:02.660 that a strong wind would kill. In some instances, Canada has recorded 50,000 deaths of fentanyl since

00:09:13.220 2016. And this data is from the beginning of, or sorry, the end of 2024. So, and that number is only going

00:09:22.380 up. I think it is, uh, according to the data. Um, anyways, it's a 39% increase since 20, sorry, since

00:09:38.800 2016, that it is a fentanyl of opioid deaths. Um, fentanyl accounts for 79% of that. So if you want to

00:09:48.860 take a bite out of the fentanyl or the opioid deaths, then you have to go after the fentanyl

00:09:54.200 specifically. Um, I think it's 11 people a day right now are dying that they know of. I mean,

00:10:02.520 what, take that for what you will. Uh, but that doesn't even take into account the people who die

00:10:08.400 of other things because of their fentanyl addiction, like hepatitis or, uh, freezing to death

00:10:16.260 or, uh, alcohol abuse or, uh, like just the lifestyle, the problems of living a dangerous

00:10:24.880 lifestyle. Like you might end up murdered at the hands of your pimp or a John because you're hooked

00:10:30.920 on fentanyl and the government is doing nothing to stop the trafficking into this country. So this is

00:10:35.800 a nationwide crisis. And our prime minister only acted because he was forced to do the right thing

00:10:45.940 by the leader of another country. He was never, ever going to do the right thing by Canadians.

00:10:51.520 And we know that because of how his government treats the drug problem in this country, they are

00:10:57.120 acting as the drug dealers and the enablers, like literally the opposite of the advice that they give

00:11:02.740 a family experiencing this, don't give money to the drug addict, let them hit rock bottom, then have a

00:11:09.720 zero tolerance for their drug use. Um, the government acted as the enablers and all of this, they've made

00:11:16.680 the problem excessively worse. Yeah. The data that I pulled this report is a year, a year old. So

00:11:25.120 January, the end of January, 2024, I did a report on the liberals misguided billion dollar drug strategy,

00:11:31.380 which has only seen an increase in overdoses and subsequently overdose deaths because they do make

00:11:36.880 that differentiation because we have the saving grace of Narcan, which is a taxpayer funded, uh,

00:11:43.120 temporary saving strategy, farms, pharmaceutical product to counteract the effects of a fentanyl

00:11:50.920 overdose. But anyway, this is a report. I featured a report published by health Canada and the public

00:11:56.000 health agency of Canada evaluating the Canadian drugs and substances strategy. So that's a thing that

00:12:02.040 the federal government has implemented. Um, it's called CDSS and a tabulation of the strategy in

00:12:07.880 the first five years that it ran. So from 2017 until 2022 shows that overdose and drug related deaths

00:12:14.500 continue to rise in Canada, despite the federal government spending more than 800 million in a

00:12:20.500 failed attempt to curb the overdose crisis. And then there was an additional 352 million over five

00:12:28.540 years implemented by former finance minister, Christia Freeland in budget 2023 to renew.

00:12:35.500 She actually renewed this failing strategy a year after these five years of tabulation showed that

00:12:43.260 it wasn't doing anything. And it was actually only making the problem worse, totaling their budget

00:12:48.460 allocation to this failed strategy to be over a billion of taxpayer dollars. This is absolute madness.

00:12:56.200 And now here we are in the beginnings of 2025. And finally, we see the government is saying,

00:13:02.500 oh, wait a minute. Now we're going to listen to the concerns of a foreign president and take notice

00:13:09.800 that our strategy obviously isn't working. And we need to do something to curb the crime and clean up

00:13:15.020 our streets, not for the Canadian people, but because we're bowing to the whim of the US president.

00:13:20.220 Yeah. Like why does Donald Trump care more about Canadians dying from fentanyl than our prime

00:13:30.060 minister or for that matter, our idiot stick of a health minister, Mark Holland, who has run his

00:13:36.840 mouth at every instance, you know what I'm going to do today? I'm going to go back and watch Mark

00:13:41.060 Holland's appearances at the health committee on this topic. He's sitting there testifying,

00:13:47.420 being questioned by the conservatives, while parents who've had children die of fentanyl are

00:13:53.800 sitting right there saying, look, we're handling this. We're doing the right thing. We're making

00:13:59.440 life better. And there's parents of dead teenagers sitting right there. And he's got absolutely no

00:14:06.220 empathy or understanding of the government's role in what happened to their child. And now he's kind of

00:14:13.400 got to eat those words because they're appointing a fentanyl czar and it's not him because he has

00:14:18.040 actually been the fentanyl kingpin of this country for the last little bit between him, of course,

00:14:23.980 and Bonnie Henry, leading the drug cartel here in this country.

00:14:28.540 Yeah. Bonnie Henry in British Columbia, which is the fentanyl hub of the country and one of the main

00:14:34.260 ports of entry, as we're finding out and hearing from between the US and Canada. And the place where

00:14:41.720 this has really been an escalating and ongoing thing, British Columbia was the province that

00:14:46.720 pioneered this, you know, supposed drug strategy, safer, as though there's any form of safe supply

00:14:53.760 of illicit and highly addictive and highly toxic drugs. They've been at this since, oh, I think it's,

00:15:00.240 I think it was 2014 or 15. I mean, it's been 20, maybe even, yeah, before that.

00:15:05.600 Yeah, I think they've been doing their safe supply nonsense and what were dubbed shooting galleries,

00:15:14.020 a safe place to do your drugs. And then it became a safe place to do and get your drugs.

00:15:20.040 They've got a generation's worth of data from the downtown east side on this. And instead of making

00:15:25.480 things better, more people are addicted than ever. More people are dying of overdoses in British Columbia

00:15:30.560 than ever. And the social decay that was small and limited to one place has spread and spread and

00:15:38.380 spread like a cancer across the society. And now their safe supply is ending up in Alberta, killing

00:15:43.440 Albertans.

00:15:45.140 Yeah, exactly. And so we have the leader of the official opposition, Conservative Party leader,

00:15:49.980 Pierre Polyev, announcing that he will bring back our justice system and throw away the key for

00:15:56.600 fentanyl kingpins. He says that Canada should do this without pressure from Donald Trump. I mean,

00:16:02.640 where have you guys been in the last few years? But nonetheless, here we are to protect Canadians

00:16:09.540 from this soft on crime liberal approach.

00:16:13.800 President Trump has threatened to tariff Canada because of what he says is lethal, lethal,

00:16:19.400 lethal drug flows. But whether or not we agree with him should not matter. It should not take

00:16:26.280 a foreign leader to get the Liberals to wake up to the drug crisis that they have caused here at

00:16:32.400 home. It should have been enough that we lost 50,000 of our people. We should crack down on drugs not to

00:16:41.240 please President Trump, but to ensure that not one more mother has to bury her face in her hands on

00:16:50.080 learning that her son died of an overdose in a back alley somewhere. We must stop drugs to save our

00:16:56.100 people and put Canada first. It starts with locking up mass traffickers and manufacturers of this

00:17:02.000 poison with penalties that pick the crime. But what is that crime? Let's call fentanyl trafficking what

00:17:08.480 it is. Mass murder. Selling 40 milligrams of this poison is enough to kill 20 people. It's like

00:17:16.160 spraying bullets into a crowd. You might not know who you're killing, but it's certain someone will die.

00:17:21.480 That's why I'm denouncing today as part of my Canada first plan that common sense conservatives

00:17:27.480 will bring mandatory prison sentences. There will be life sentences for anyone caught trafficking,

00:17:34.240 producing, or exporting over 40 milligrams of fentanyl. 40 milligrams is enough to kill 20 people.

00:17:44.060 Anyone who is involved in trafficking that amount of fentanyl will get a life sentence.

00:17:49.300 We will lock them up and we will throw away the key. And 15 years for traffickers caught with between

00:17:57.340 20 milligrams and 40 milligrams will be the new mandatory sentence.

00:18:04.120 Yeah, it was the bail reform that the Liberals brought in that has seen these criminals just

00:18:09.800 released back onto the streets within hours of being arrested, even repeat offenders.

00:18:14.240 So the fact that our judicial system is basically just preoccupied with whether or not people are

00:18:21.200 gender identifying in the right way that the government wants to see them identifying as,

00:18:27.200 we don't have a robust criminal justice system at this point. And it's been that way for several

00:18:32.260 years. And now, you know, it's the everyday Canadian reeling and living that on the streets that

00:18:37.600 we see. I'm glad that Trump has prompted this conversation to happen on this broader political

00:18:44.100 scale. But, you know, I really wonder where all of these conversations were years ago when people

00:18:51.540 like us, the little guy started reporting on it, listening to the everyday person on the street,

00:18:57.640 the underdog in many ways, in many instances, and including the people who are, you know,

00:19:03.640 quote unquote, the most vulnerable, the homeless people themselves and drug addicts themselves that

00:19:08.720 say, we can't get help, we can't get resources. I remember one of the first reports that I did when

00:19:14.960 I first joined Rebel in the fall of 2020, I interviewed a homeless man in Kingston, Ontario,

00:19:22.440 and their hub of drug addiction and safer supply was getting really bad at that time and really harming

00:19:30.620 the local community and neighbourhood there where, you know, they were seeing the chaos on the streets,

00:19:34.520 the crime, the overdoses, the open air drug use. And but this one particular homeless man was disabled

00:19:41.360 and he was in a wheelchair, he didn't have use of one of his legs or had some sort of, I don't remember

00:19:46.540 all the details of his story, but he couldn't get into safe housing because it was all, yeah, here he is,

00:19:52.840 Peter. He couldn't get into safe housing because it was all being catered to drug addicts. And so anywhere

00:20:00.460 that he went, he felt more unsafe living in supportive and subsidised housing, as they like to call it,

00:20:07.240 because of the drug use and the chaos that was happening in these buildings. So he actually felt

00:20:13.500 safer living outside in the tent than utilising these supposed supports and safer supply hubs that were

00:20:22.260 being welcomed and promoted in the community. Yeah. You know, we've been really doing our best

00:20:30.040 to drive this conversation because like the normals are forgotten in all about that. And all of this,

00:20:34.820 it's the academics who say like, Oh, this is what we have to do to, to, uh, to treat people when it's not

00:20:42.740 treatment at all. And there are two ways out of addiction. You get cleaner, you die. Now, if you

00:20:48.400 go on safe supply, it just prolongs your suicide. Um, we might slow it down. Actually, it might not.

00:20:55.180 Who even knows? Like the data shows that they don't know. And actually nobody ever gets clean. Um,

00:21:01.220 but to be fair on the health committee, there is one conservative MP that, uh, we really should

00:21:09.800 acknowledge because he's been raw and very open with his reasons for opposing safe supply. And

00:21:15.600 that's Todd Doherty. He's a conservative MP. As I said, he's on the health committee. And I just

00:21:20.080 think every time that Todd Doherty has to listen to these academics talk about safe supply or Mark

00:21:26.380 Holland say that the conservatives don't care about people who are addicted because they don't,

00:21:31.560 they have a different viewpoint about getting people clean and getting them back and functional

00:21:35.920 in society returned to their families instead of, uh, having them prolong the demon within them.

00:21:43.140 Todd Doherty. Uh, he has been very open about this. I'm not speaking out of turn, grew up in an

00:21:50.000 abusive household that, uh, that Todd Doherty and just the, you can find it's in the Prince George

00:21:57.280 citizen. If you want to find the article, read it for yourself. He opens up a lot and probably more

00:22:02.920 than he needed to. Uh, but I appreciate his honesty. Um, but the abuse that his, he and his

00:22:09.760 brother suffered at the hands of someone in his family, he just uses the word she to describe her.

00:22:14.940 Um, it's by the grace of God that Todd Doherty is not addicted on the street, given the childhood

00:22:20.500 trauma that he experienced. However, his brother is mentally ill, drug addicted and homeless. And so

00:22:27.660 imagine it like Todd Doherty has been so strong in this issue. He's the one bringing the parents

00:22:34.400 to committee so that they have a voice. And he has lived this and imagine having to sit there

00:22:42.140 and listen to an idiot like Mark Holland say, what your brother needs is more drugs.

00:22:49.000 Yeah. The left really loves to capitalize on the people with supposed lived experiences,

00:22:54.740 but I don't hear anyone, um, apart from some of the conservative members like Layla Goodridge

00:22:59.540 as well has been a really loud voice. She's also on the health committee. Um, she was the one that

00:23:03.880 sounded the alarm when mothers who were giving birth in hospital were being exposed to fentanyl fumes

00:23:10.960 because the addicts were allowed to come in and use their drugs inside of the hospital with

00:23:16.880 mothers who are quite literally giving birth to newborn babies. Um, but I don't hear ever the lived

00:23:24.020 experience of, you know, the children who grew up with drug addicted parents and the devastation and

00:23:29.720 the chaos and the turmoil and the destruction of their family units. Um, and just the, the overall

00:23:35.960 trauma that these children experienced, you know, and many of them unfortunately go through life as,

00:23:41.960 uh, Todd's mentioned and become addicts themselves or some other have some other mental health issues.

00:23:48.700 And so perhaps they're not the best advocates, but there are a lot of children of drug addicted

00:23:53.580 parents who actually stay away and steer clear of that lifestyle because they've seen the fallout

00:23:59.300 and the devastation that it causes. And I don't ever hear from any of them. And, uh, the other person

00:24:05.260 too, I just want to mention as an outspoken against this idea of safer supply is also the conservative

00:24:11.820 shadow minister of health, Stephen Ellis, who's also a practicing licensed family physician,

00:24:16.260 which Mark Holland, who's our minister of health with thanks to the justice, Trudeau liberals

00:24:21.160 is not, he's a seasoned politician. He's a lifetime bureaucrat. And I think his background

00:24:27.560 is in economics, not at all in medicine or health. Yeah. And he, we can tell since he's a liberal,

00:24:33.940 he's also bad at that. Um, also big business, right? So it makes you wonder. Yeah. Well, that's the

00:24:41.140 thing. A lot of these people in the poverty and drug addiction industry, uh, if you solve the

00:24:47.600 problem, their jobs go away, right? So you definitely can't solve the problem. You have to

00:24:51.680 keep your customers going for a while, which I think is what safe supply does. Also hat tip to

00:24:57.040 Dan Williams here in Alberta. He's our mental health and addictions minister. I think just about

00:25:02.180 everybody who works in his office is an active recovery. So he's surrounded himself with people

00:25:07.960 who, again, lived experience as the left likes to say, uh, they know what it takes to become clean

00:25:13.520 and functional. And I think they've pretty well had it with people telling them what addicts need

00:25:19.080 when the recovered addicts, I think pretty well might be the ones with the expertise on this.

00:25:25.020 Um, but that hasn't stopped the mainstream media from being, uh, idiotic on this. Um,

00:25:31.160 Paul, you have in that same press conference, uh, shut down a reporter, um, and calls it the liberals

00:25:38.860 for using the charter of rights and freedoms to defend of all people, fentanyl dealers, mass murderers.

00:25:46.720 If you kill dozens of people, you should go away for life. And that is what we will do. I will lock up

00:25:54.700 these fentanyl murderers and we will throw away the key and I will do it not just to save lives,

00:26:00.080 but to uphold the charter of rights and freedoms.

00:26:03.300 En français.

00:26:07.520 But would you use 33 to insulate the law so it doesn't get back down in court?

00:26:12.280 Oh, it won't. No. Well, because the judges are going to be obliged to, to buy the, by section seven,

00:26:18.000 it's clear that people have the right to life, liberty and security of the person. So what I'm

00:26:24.820 proposing is necessary to uphold the charter of rights and freedoms. And you do not have the right

00:26:31.980 to go out and kill 20 or 30 people by spreading poison in the community. That is not a charter

00:26:36.700 right. So the liberals believe that fent, mass fentanyl murderers who have taken 50,000 lives

00:26:43.720 have the right to go free on the streets. That is how they interpret the charter. Here's how I

00:26:48.220 interpret the charter. That law abiding people have the right to expect that their children will

00:26:53.700 not die in back alleys. That's the charter right. I will uphold. Next question.

00:27:00.620 You know, it's really refreshing to see someone who can have a, has a backbone and can take some

00:27:08.060 heat from the mainstream media and stick to their conviction and, um, not just kind of dance around

00:27:14.120 with these weird mental gymnastics and patronizing breathless responses as we've seen, you know,

00:27:21.620 for the past almost decade from Justin Trudeau and people like Christia Freeland. It's so refreshing

00:27:26.620 to see actual dialogue with clear, succinct responses, not these dancing around going everywhere,

00:27:35.100 but the answer to the actual question. Um, I just want to get to one of our, uh, super chats or

00:27:42.140 rumble rants, I should say. Oh, great. Yeah. We got one from Jetta Bursey who gives $5. Thank you

00:27:47.000 very much. So JT, that's Justin Trudeau agrees to a border czar after Danielle Smith said that that was

00:27:53.520 needed. Love Caroline press secretary. She absolutely rocks. My J is silent in my first name. Oh, so it's

00:28:01.660 Yetta Bursey. Yetta Bursey. Yetta. Thanks Sheila. My pronunciation is always terrible. Yetta Bursey.

00:28:07.520 Thank you. Yetta's a regular, uh, donor to the show and a regular watcher. And I always say her

00:28:14.080 name both ways. And she, uh, she's probably written to me several times telling me how exactly to say it,

00:28:20.680 but I keep forgetting. And so now I promise I will remember Yetta. Thank you very much. Uh, we also have

00:28:26.600 an ad from, uh, our friends at rumble that we need to read. Why? Because we're demonetized on

00:28:32.640 YouTube and my blue lights are making it look like I have five o'clock shadow. I definitely don't.

00:28:37.640 I think my hormones are in check these days. Um, anyway, I'll read that right now. So if you have

00:28:43.660 a dog, we've all been there. Our pup goes from full of energy to sick and miserable in an instant.

00:28:47.940 And of course, of course, at the worst of times, like when Morgan, the super dog ate all the

00:28:52.480 smarties out of the Halloween candies earlier this, well, later last year, I guess. Uh, then

00:28:58.240 we're calling vets in the middle of the night or on weekends, trying to find a clinic that will take

00:29:02.200 us in. It's a terrible way to manage your dog's health, not to mention your stress levels and your

00:29:06.360 monthly budget. That's why people are getting the pet emergency kit by positive. And it's spelt the

00:29:11.660 cute way P a W S I T I V E. It contains critical medications and supplies that can not only keep

00:29:18.940 your dog out of the veterinary office, but may also save your dog's life. Their kit contains

00:29:23.980 critical medications like activated charcoal, styptic powder, and more when, uh, it might save

00:29:29.060 your dog's life. Head on over to positive. Again, that's the cute spelling positive.com and use the

00:29:34.020 code studio to get 15% off your pet emergency kit. Now I think we have a couple of rebel ads to run and

00:29:40.840 then we'll go into, uh, more from the federal government. I think it is on, if I go back up,

00:29:47.520 uh, Trudeau discussing diversifying trade exports while dancing around, I believe the issue of oil

00:29:56.240 exports. So, uh, let's hit an ad break and then we'll go into that. Canadians know the national

00:30:02.060 anthem. They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country, but not every Canadian

00:30:08.180 knows their rights and freedoms. The Freedom Passport will change that. It looks and feels

00:30:14.100 like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms in a portable,

00:30:20.760 easy to read format. The Freedom Passport, order one for yourself and for all the freedom lovers

00:30:27.100 that you love at freedom passport.ca Oh, hi. It's Ezra Levant here in Toronto with an important

00:30:36.000 message because we need your help. Independent journalism in Canada is under attack. Government

00:30:41.680 censors, big tech D platformers, and the dying legacy media are all working together to maintain

00:30:48.940 exclusive control on the information you receive. They don't want you to hear other voices like ours,

00:30:55.220 and they really don't want you to be informed and to think for yourself. That's why the work we do

00:32:16.300 All right. I want to subscribe after listening to Ezra's impassioned speech there. We've got Trudeau

00:32:34.560 discussing diversifying our trade exports and, quote, deepening our energy links. But he doesn't

00:32:42.640 actually say what that means. Of course. No, of course not. I have my – I know what it should

00:32:48.960 mean, but I don't think he does. Trade with the U.S. Now, there's a lot of talk about diversification.

00:32:56.360 We'll get to that as well. But let's face some facts here. We are Canada. Geography means we're

00:33:03.900 always going to both benefit and be challenged by trade with the United States. It's always going to be

00:33:09.480 a big chunk of our economy. Can we be deliberate and strategic about where we're creating deeper

00:33:17.240 partnerships that make sense, where we're looking at, whether it's critical minerals that are going

00:33:23.020 to be so essential for the future and that international suppliers are a little more unreliable

00:33:27.620 on, certain countries are unreliable on, whether it's moving forward on energy and deepening our

00:33:33.500 energy links in a positive way that actually solidifies those ties and makes them less

00:33:40.520 vulnerable to the vagaries of politics? Can we be thoughtful and deliberate about the kinds

00:33:47.040 of partnerships that enhance and create true win-wins, but also give us a little more protection

00:33:53.100 against political rhetoric in the United States? These are things we can deliberately look at,

00:34:00.040 that we are looking at. The vagaries of politics. Right. I literally wrote that down.

00:34:08.300 Coming from the guy who has done nothing but tried to destroy our natural resource sector

00:34:16.220 and utilize everything but Canadian minerals, oil and gas. It's such an inversion of reality. I don't

00:34:26.720 know what world Trudeau lives in or who the heck's writing his scripts.

00:34:31.420 Yeah. How do you, like, this, the speech was literally an example of the vagaries of politics.

00:34:38.420 Like, how do you talk about deepening our energy ties without using the word pipe lines? Because

00:34:44.800 that's what it means. Like, that's what it means. If we want to, they say diversify, but again,

00:34:51.360 with the vagaries of politics, what it means is phase out oil and gas. That's what they mean

00:34:55.580 when they say diversify, every single time. But our energy links, what would link this country

00:35:01.580 together with regard to our natural resources? Maybe an east-west pipeline that actually goes through

00:35:11.940 the entirety of Canada. Instead, right now, we've got a pipeline, thanks to Justin Trudeau,

00:35:19.140 that because we canceled Energy East, which would have been a project that increased Canada's energy

00:35:27.700 security flowing from Alberta to the east. But right now, we've got a pipeline that comes from

00:35:32.840 Alberta, cuts into the United States, line nine and line five, and then comes back up into Canada,

00:35:40.340 which means Trump could turn that pipeline off in a heartbeat if he wanted to. And you know who

00:35:44.960 doesn't have oil and gas? Quebec and Ontario. You know who won't let us build pipelines? Quebec.

00:35:51.960 Legault says, you know, like, we would only do it if there's social acceptability. You know what's

00:35:56.120 socially unacceptable? Six dollar a liter fuel, because you don't get it, because it's cut off.

00:36:01.900 And right now, a full 47% of their oil and gas actually is from fracked gas from the United States.

00:36:11.740 But some of you might not know, fracking is banned in Quebec. Now, we frack everything. We frack

00:36:18.280 everywhere, everywhere in Alberta. And it's not a catastrophe. In fact, we grow your food here. So

00:36:23.340 settle down, everybody. But they banned fracking in Quebec. But they're not against fracked gas,

00:36:30.540 because they get it from the United States. They're just against fracking jobs in Quebec. So

00:36:36.520 it's just a big mess. Right now, we should be talking about creating a spiderweb network of

00:36:43.040 pipelines in all directions, starting in Alberta and terminating at every seaport in this country.

00:36:50.520 But we're not. We're just talking about energy connections, the vagaries of politics.

00:36:57.140 Diversifying those sources of reliable, consistent and affordable energy.

00:37:01.440 You mentioned Premier Legault's comments to Alexa Lavoie. We have a clip here, I think, to

00:37:08.460 we have one clip here. Yeah, let's play that one. And so you're not taking your word for it. He

00:37:12.760 actually says that there needs to be social acceptability of pipelines. Yeah.

00:37:19.020 Mr. Legault, how come you don't agree with Premier Smith's idea to build new oil and gas pipeline

00:37:24.600 to diversify our export markets? So we are not only trading with America, given Trump's tariff

00:37:33.200 threat. So she said that it would make Canada stronger. Do you believe that too?

00:37:38.460 I just answered this question. It's the same thing. We talk about Energy S or GNL. I think that

00:37:45.300 we need to have social acceptability. And if Danielle Smith or whoever table projects will look

00:37:55.480 at them, but we need to have social acceptability. Yeah, maybe if the vagaries of politics didn't

00:38:02.600 lead everyone to believe that these were somehow polluting, dirty energy sources, then there would

00:38:10.300 be more social acceptability. And I think that as people see this hit them in their pocketbooks where

00:38:15.820 it really hurts, they're starting to say, hey, wait a minute, maybe this green revolution isn't what it

00:38:22.040 was made out and sold to all of us to be. And we'd like to just get back to a good old fashioned oil and

00:38:28.160 gas. Yeah, it's funny. For someone who lives in Alberta, and we are one of the most natural and wild

00:38:36.500 places in this country. I think just when you see pictures of Alberta, you see, we grow your food.

00:38:45.040 And there's pump jacks in the distance, which means we grow your food on top of an energy site.

00:38:49.940 Or you see these pictures of mountains, and it's picturesque and beautiful. But you should know

00:38:56.000 there are pipelines going through those mountains. And it's interesting for me as an Albertan to live

00:39:03.040 in this vast, wild, natural place to get lectures about what is clean and what's dirty from the

00:39:10.220 concrete jungle people. You know what I mean? I'm like, you guys, when was the last time you got

00:39:15.580 off pavement, my guy? And it's probably maybe once in a year. And I've got to listen to these people

00:39:21.280 tell me about how polluting and dirty we are, when I can check my air quality index, because the oil

00:39:27.320 companies monitor that just for the sake of calming the worry warts. And my air quality index, just up

00:39:34.160 the road from what's colloquially known as Upgrader Alley, is always better. Always better than Vancouver,

00:39:42.580 Montreal, Quebec City, definitely Toronto. And I live in what's called the industrial heartland. That's

00:39:51.320 what they call it here, the place in which I live. And it's always, like I said, it's always interesting

00:39:56.600 for me to see the people, oh God, we can't have those polluting Albertans. And I'm like,

00:40:00.920 it's pretty nice around here. What are you talking about?

00:40:04.580 There's lots of trees exchanging that carbon dioxide for oxygen that Trudeau likes to pollute

00:40:10.320 when he jet sets here, there and everywhere, whether it be his lavish vacations or his globalist

00:40:16.180 parties where they discuss how to keep all of us from flying and heating our homes efficiently

00:40:21.380 while they all gather and eat filet mignon and have their private jets and their cocktails

00:40:28.100 in endless amounts. Or Davos, Sheila, you were just there. You saw the peak hypocrisy of these elites

00:40:37.340 taking a plane to their main airport, then either private shuttling in with either by a limousine or

00:40:46.180 another high-caliber vehicle, helicopters, private jets, the list goes on and on. The carbon footprint

00:40:53.340 of these people is insane compared to just what our small individual necessities of life would be,

00:41:01.460 aside from living a lavish lifestyle of travel and meet and greets that could easily be done

00:41:06.480 on Zoom.

00:41:07.300 Yeah, that was the San Moritz private airstrip there. We caught a plane just landing, a private

00:41:16.460 jet just landing. That was the last jet of the day because weather shut everybody in. But yeah,

00:41:22.940 we went out there and then you jump off your private jet. By the way, you can look at all the

00:41:27.800 ads for luxury watches, cars, whatever, on your way through this little private, super private airport

00:41:34.120 airport where they have like a high-end buffet that we got there early. And you can see where

00:41:40.220 the high-end buffet had been, but they had taken it all down because of the weather. And then you fly

00:41:44.480 to the, you get on a helicopter and then you fly to the specially built private airport right in the

00:41:51.080 middle of town. Local residents dealing with the noise be damned. So these people can get in there

00:41:57.060 and lecture me about having to have a low flow showerhead to save the planet. Like it's just ridiculous.

00:42:04.120 Yeah. The absolute insanity and emboldenedness of these individuals is just, I mean, people are

00:42:14.600 starting to see it more and more for what it is. And they're starting to say, wait a minute,

00:42:19.420 this no longer makes sense. And I think that as the United States takes action to cut the bureaucratic

00:42:25.980 bloat to weed out the, this ridiculous spending that, that we have, they've, the country has invested

00:42:34.300 on behalf of the taxpayers who in many instances have no idea what any of this stuff is for, where

00:42:39.600 it's going, or that it's even happening at all. And I think Canada has seen and will continue to see

00:42:46.480 the repercussions of that and start to pay more attention and demand the same of our leaders here.

00:42:51.720 I think, I hope it's only a matter of time. Um, yeah, let's, let's keep going. Cause we've got,

00:42:58.900 well, you know, we've got extra time now, um, because we're not tightening it up to just the

00:43:03.620 one hour, but we've got block leader, uh, Yves-Francois Blanchet taking aim at Canada's federal

00:43:10.220 parties for favoring the interests of Ontario and Western Canada. Is this guy out of his mind?

00:43:15.200 Like, since when the hell was Western Canada favored by the federal government? Uh, he really

00:43:21.320 is in some kind of Quebec style bubble, but let's listen to this and, uh, then we'll chat

00:43:26.560 about it.

00:43:27.460 We are living through the proof that big Canadian parties are going to walk on us, literally favoring

00:43:41.980 the interests of Toronto and Ontario and its banks or the interests of Western Canada and

00:43:50.040 oil and gas. And in the same day, we see those two things. Could we literally scrap supply management?

00:44:02.220 It's bad for other Canadian economic interests. We should trade say, okay, we forget supply

00:44:10.800 management. So important for Quebec. We'll deal something good for Ontario car industry.

00:44:19.380 And we also hear people, including Mr. Carnet say, okay, now it's time. We will come in Quebec

00:44:27.400 with pipelines that will, at the end, we will get it. We will go through Quebec with pipelines

00:44:34.400 and we will go in the cemetery and dig out the project of natural gas in Saguenay using

00:44:43.380 a crisis that people fear to defend and promote interests, which are against Quebec. And it has

00:44:54.160 to be noticed as it is mischievous enthusiasm. Uh, this, uh, Paul comes at a good moment.

00:45:06.580 First, it has been made during the worst part of a crisis, which has been created by the American

00:45:13.980 president. And it did make people afraid of what was coming. And at this very moment, there

00:45:23.320 was a poll. I understand that people are afraid. And if it does bring back interests on Quebec,

00:45:33.460 we will have the opportunity to speak to those leaders of Canadian parties about the fact that

00:45:41.040 they want to walk on us with oil and gas. They want to trade supply management against us.

00:45:50.820 We will have the opportunity to speak about lumberwood, about aluminum, about artificial intelligence,

00:45:59.060 about aeronautics, about what makes us what we are. And nobody, nobody is speaking about

00:46:07.100 what Quebec is, but Bloc Québécois. We may be friends with anybody who intends to deal in a fair

00:46:15.820 way. But somebody who wants to deal against us will pay a very heavy and long lasting price.

00:46:25.260 I think that's enough of him. Yeah. Um, so we want to talk about the vagaries of politics

00:46:32.060 and there is, there was a lot of, uh, that in there. Um, and what kind of the doomsday rhetoric,

00:46:39.980 it was just crazy. You know, people are so scared and they're going to walk on us and they're using

00:46:47.420 a crisis and this mischievous enthusiasm. These are such weird inflammatory words for, um, them to

00:46:56.480 be using. But I guess that, uh, is the norm when you're a fringe party and Quebec. I remember Alexa

00:47:04.440 did a report on Quebec and their energy grid, uh, specifically their electric energy grid and

00:47:10.680 even hydro Quebec on its website says the first sentence. I think it is hydro Quebec produces

00:47:17.720 enough electricity to supply the entire province, except during winter peaks in Quebec when it's

00:47:25.640 freezing cold and your battery is not going to last outside in the freezing cold. And so what are you

00:47:32.580 going to do in Quebec when you can heat the entire and supply the entire province, except for in peak

00:47:39.200 winter, we're just going to normalize people freezing. Um, why not have a reliable, efficient

00:47:45.400 and consistent source of energy to, you know, bridge that gap? This is, this is crazy talk.

00:47:53.780 Well, and just the, uh, insanity of this man, like it again, the block exists to promote Quebec

00:48:01.020 interests. Okay. But you could actually do it without lying. Um, so, um, he says that,

00:48:09.180 you know, the federal government is favoring the West since when we can't get a pipeline built

00:48:15.860 to Quebec. And the reason we want to build a pipeline to Quebec is so that Quebecers can have

00:48:21.180 reliable Alberta energy. We're trying to help you dummy. Um, he says that, you know, like Western

00:48:28.200 interests are favored. Okay. So we can't get a job in the federal government unless we're fluent in

00:48:34.480 French, regardless of what part of this country that you work in. You can't get a job at Service

00:48:38.860 Canada in Fort McMurray unless you were, or unless you are fluent in French. Canadians cannot be the

00:48:47.080 prime minister these days unless we're fluent in French. So that excludes some very strong Western

00:48:53.500 candidate. You can't be on the Supreme court unless you're fluent in French. Again, excluding some

00:48:59.320 strong Western candidates. And while we're talking about Western interests being favored, let's talk

00:49:05.280 about SNC Lavalin. Lavalin, if, if you're listening to how they say it at the CBC, uh, that's a corrupt

00:49:12.240 Quebec company that was getting sweetheart deals from the federal government simply because they were

00:49:18.960 from Quebec. Um, it's, it's a bit much to listen to Mr. Uh, Quebec who gets half of all the equalization

00:49:28.980 payments in this country complain about the West getting favored. The West pays the majority of

00:49:34.560 those equalization payments. I think this year it's $26.2 billion in equalization that is being

00:49:41.680 transferred around the country. The majority of it comes from the, well, no, all of it comes from the

00:49:46.560 half provinces. Guess who the half provinces are? That's it. Um, and Quebec is taking in half of it

00:49:54.820 going up every year. So if you want to keep getting your free stuff from the West, Mr. Quebec first,

00:50:01.520 and that's fine, but you have to let us work. If you need us to support you, you have to let us work.

00:50:06.640 It's like a stay at home wife, making her husband stay home because she's lonely. If you want to stay in

00:50:12.000 that house all day, he's got to go to work. You got to let us work, uh, Quebec. So you can be a kept

00:50:17.460 woman. I love that analogy for this clip. Um, it definitely makes sense. Uh, just before we wrap up

00:50:26.640 this segment on the federal government, we have Trudeau yesterday going up and celebrating his ability to be

00:50:35.660 ruthless in his final weeks in power. Just this guy is so drunk on power.

00:50:41.000 I have to admit my friends, I'm a little bit emotional tonight. Um, one of the things that

00:50:50.440 comes with knowing that you're on a countdown clock to your last day means you get to be really

00:50:58.000 ruthless about the things you want to do and the things that you don't want to do.

00:51:04.420 And let me tell you, if I am here tonight with you all, it's because man, oh man, that I want to

00:51:09.800 see you guys to celebrate one last black history month as prime minister.

00:51:18.600 Oh, of course he had to, he had to just get that last little social justice warrior claim in there.

00:51:26.020 I'm just so glad he's not in blackface. Um, so that's a new development. Um, but he says he gets to be

00:51:33.360 more ruthless now that he doesn't have to worry about a reelection or whatever. My question is,

00:51:38.880 how the hell are we supposed to know the difference? Uh, cause he was, he's been pretty

00:51:44.320 ruthless, um, from arresting political dissidents, seizing their bank accounts, imposing, uh, speech

00:51:50.800 restrictions on Canadians, ruthless in his climate policy, ruthless in denying the ability,

00:51:56.140 the ability of Albertans to create jobs and wealth for the rest of the country. Uh, he's

00:52:01.620 controlling the internet, um, and calling anybody to the right of chairman Mao, some sort of radical

00:52:09.620 extremist. Look at the language he used to describe the convoy. So, uh, if that wasn't ruthless,

00:52:17.460 I'm scared to see what he thinks is ruthless. Yeah, that's a good point. Uh, Justin Trudeau

00:52:23.340 ruthlessly bloated the bureaucracy at three times the size and pace as the private sector,

00:52:31.040 as the government's COVID-19 response was decimating small businesses all across the country and

00:52:38.360 eliminating permanently. In many instances, those mom pop shops that made Canadian, Canada and built

00:52:45.900 the country on their backbone. Um, and then he increased our taxes, our taxes currently outpace

00:52:52.740 our basic living necessities like food, shelter, and clothing combined. And that's been a consistent

00:53:01.800 theme throughout his reign of terror on the country of Canada, bloat the bureaucracy, get more taxes,

00:53:09.440 put this carbon tax into place, implement it on April fool's day each year, or increase it on

00:53:16.440 April fool's day each year, April 1st, at the same time as all MPs get their yearly raise, regardless

00:53:22.840 of how disastrous their policy and representation has been on the political scale. So yeah, if we're

00:53:32.580 talking that we're going to get more ruthless in this regard, um, I don't know what kind of additional

00:53:37.880 destruction he can do to this country and this last month, but I'm nervous for it.

00:53:44.020 Yeah. Uh, and like Mark Carney has been the brains of the operation, right? So we're going to,

00:53:51.740 I think we'll just get more of the same, but on, uh, steroids, but somehow possibly more boring.

00:53:58.540 Uh, if you've listened to Mark Carney talk, it's just, uh, it's just, at least Justin Trudeau is

00:54:03.600 irritatingly interesting to listen to just because of how he speaks in that drama teacher

00:54:08.400 annoyingness. But Mark Carney is just like, uh, uh, it's like listening to Charlie Brown's mom talk

00:54:16.020 just wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah in the background. It's just terrible. Um, we've got a couple of ad

00:54:21.520 reads and chats. You want to do the chats? I'll do the ad read.

00:54:23.580 Sounds good. We have Nana awake gives $10. Thank you very much, Nana. My 10 year old granddaughter

00:54:29.500 who lived with her dad, who was very good at hiding his addiction until he couldn't,

00:54:33.940 she thought she was protecting him. So didn't say anything. Her healing is our focus. Yeah. I'm

00:54:40.820 really, uh, that's the devastating part is the innocent children who are caught in the midst of

00:54:46.800 the drug chaos that has been unfolding on our streets and in our country for the last several

00:54:54.240 years. And the perpetuation of it by the political class who clearly have no, as we've already said,

00:55:01.040 lived experience with what this is actually like to deal with on an, you know, as an individual,

00:55:07.340 on an individual level, but as a child who has no say and no choice in the matter, you know,

00:55:13.360 the, the, um, advocates who want this safer supply and all of these initiatives for, um,

00:55:19.720 drug addicts to coddle them so that they never actually overdose and die, which is the inevitable

00:55:24.460 part of having an addiction, which is why you need to get out of that cycle of addiction,

00:55:30.420 homelessness, um, deception, crime, theft, et cetera, et cetera, by getting proper help and having

00:55:37.360 the resources available to reintegrate you into being a functioning member of society and give you

00:55:42.940 something purposeful, um, and responsibility to, you know, increase your ability to live a clean life

00:55:49.360 and be on the trajectory to being a responsible person and citizen and so on and so forth. Um,

00:55:54.760 but it's these children, you know, they don't have, they don't have a choice or a say in many times in

00:56:00.620 any of this. And then, you know, sadly, a lot of them end up in, in the system if they don't have

00:56:05.720 family members, like their awake nanas who can, you know, take them under their wing and give them a

00:56:11.380 better life. And that is the really sad part of this, that those children who don't have a choice

00:56:16.260 also don't have a voice. And in my opinion, those are the most vulnerable people in this situation,

00:56:22.120 not the drug addict who has their addiction perpetuated by advocates and government ivory

00:56:27.620 towering ivory tower dwelling bureaucrats who want this idea of safer supply of illicit toxic, deadly drugs.

00:56:36.160 Yeah. And, uh, I've got a story before we move on. I've got a theory about all of this and a theory

00:56:42.140 with the godless left and why they are, they just decide that drug addicts are beyond redemption. Um,

00:56:50.440 it's because they believe nobody is, nobody is redeemable. Like, you know, we, you and I go around

00:56:57.100 talking the good word of conservatism and personal responsibility and a skepticism of the government and,

00:57:03.360 and government that should fit inside of a teacup and that families make the best decisions. And

00:57:07.640 then when we get a taker, I think it should be our view to say, okay, well, you thought leftism was

00:57:15.740 right, but you changed your mind. And so we don't have a litmus test, a purity test before someone

00:57:21.400 joins the conservative movement. Other, like if we did, there would be no point in talking to the

00:57:27.160 people, right? Cause you're not, if you, if you're just going to hold people to account for the things

00:57:32.220 they did before, then why even bother trying to change their minds? They're irredeemable.

00:57:37.000 And we see this with the left to cancel culture. They think that anyone, they can dig through your

00:57:41.640 social media for something you said when you were 17, and that should cancel you when you're 40,

00:57:46.020 because they don't believe people are redeemable. And you can see this completely playing out right

00:57:52.300 now with how they treat drug addicts. They think that there is no value, inherent value in a person,

00:58:00.600 for whatever reason, maybe you take a secular viewpoint. Maybe you're like me and you take a

00:58:06.480 religious worldview that you're created in the image of God. And so you inherently are born with

00:58:11.380 value and that makes you redeemable. But they don't feel that way about people. They don't see

00:58:17.880 anything in people that makes them valuable because they're humans born alive. And so they just think

00:58:24.600 that you should just be damned to whatever your social circumstances are, that only the rich can

00:58:30.720 stay rich and the normals should stay normals and maybe even get poorer. You shouldn't have any social

00:58:36.000 capital. You shouldn't try to have any power in society. And if you are a drug addict, that's where

00:58:41.320 you shall stay. And I think it's a real problem with the left and it has to do with the absence of

00:58:48.160 God in their lives if I had to really drill down. But I think that's why. Anyway, thank you for coming

00:58:54.320 to my TED Talk. It's a really interesting take. And also they want to invest into perpetuation and

00:59:04.020 enablement of addiction rather than invest into a person's ability and capability to get themselves

00:59:11.040 out of the addiction and reintegrate into society and become a productive member once again of a

00:59:19.280 community, of a neighborhood. You know, they're all about, oh, our communities and our, you know,

00:59:24.920 our neighbors is a lot of the rhetoric I see about when they're advocating for enablement of drug

00:59:30.500 addiction. And it's like, but that's, this isn't what makes a neighborhood or a community. It's a

00:59:36.240 collective of individuals coming together to, you know, give whatever they can as a person that is,

00:59:45.220 um, when they're capable of being a part of a community that does things to better the community,

00:59:53.740 not descend into this perpetual destruction and chaos and crime and sneaking and theft and all the

01:00:02.180 things that go along with addiction. It's very well documented what people do and the lengths that

01:00:07.580 they will go to sustain their addiction. It is horrific what happens on the streets. And instead

01:00:15.340 of, you know, saying, oh, that this probably isn't a good place for people to end up and let's, how do we

01:00:21.040 get them better and lift them out of the throes of this disgusting disease? Um, no, it's, well,

01:00:27.860 there's safer supply. So let's just make sure that the taxpayers fund it all. And we will partner up

01:00:33.860 with big pharma so that we can create more customers instead of cures, right? That's big

01:00:38.980 pharma's business model. And it just is this endless cycle when I think it's very clear that

01:00:45.220 we can break the chains of that cycle and get people back to being responsible, upstanding citizens

01:00:50.780 once again, because if we're not, then what kind of anarchy are we going to descend into?

01:00:54.940 Right. If you think about it this way, the elites want to stay up here. If you look at all their

01:01:01.800 policies, this is what they are designed to do. Whether it is climate policy, taxation, immigration,

01:01:09.220 healthcare, drugs, whatever, they are, they are doing things to make sure they stay up here

01:01:16.500 and you stay down here and you will never be able to travel up to here. You they're putting

01:01:24.120 barriers in the way to make sure that you never reach them. It's one of the reasons they want to

01:01:28.780 keep Alberta from achieving its economic, uh, uh, prosperity, I guess is how I would put it is

01:01:38.200 because those pesky high school graduates have no business making $250,000 a year. We're from

01:01:46.600 Laurentia. We can't have those people anywhere near us. And so we instill climate policies,

01:01:51.640 15 minute cities, drug problems, drug, just to make sure that you never pass through those other

01:01:58.020 socioeconomic zones to get anywhere near them. That's that again, that's my theory. Anyways,

01:02:03.140 I'll be quiet. Next chat, please. Nana awake also gives $2. Thanks again. Quebec says pipelines

01:02:08.960 east are socially unacceptable and is discouraging people from buying from Alberta. So team Canada,

01:02:15.640 you know, team Canada excludes us. So equalization payments are socially and financially unacceptable.

01:02:22.400 Yeah, that's an interesting take as well. No pipelines, no equalization. There are people,

01:02:27.020 there as a, there are a lot of bumper stickers out here in Alberta that literally say that one

01:02:32.960 thing, no pipelines, question mark, no equalization exclamation point. And, uh, I do not disagree.

01:02:42.260 Well, I kind of do because I live in the province of Ontario, as I like to call it these days and have,

01:02:48.740 I mean, I have been for a while, but, um, I just think there needs to be more, um, utilization of our

01:02:55.640 energy sector instead of framing it to be this dirty, disgusting thing when the alternatives are actually

01:03:02.440 that. And they're just lining the pockets of, uh, uh, of politicians like Gilboa who, and Mark Carney,

01:03:10.180 who is well invested in green energy technology. Um, it's certainly not helping the little guy.

01:03:17.040 Yeah. Uh, we'll leave and we'll be like Singapore and you can see behind and be like North Korea.

01:03:23.300 Like, it's so crazy to think that we could be like Dubai, but they won't let us develop our

01:03:29.600 resources. Like when you go to Dubai, they're just building stuff for the sake of building it.

01:03:33.340 Like if you're like, why does that high rise building look like a cruise ship? Oh, because

01:03:37.920 they can, because it's so ridiculous and they have the money and they just can't. That could be us,

01:03:43.180 but they won't let us exploit our natural resources because Justin Trudeau is a green zealot.

01:03:47.420 Okay. Let's, uh, read this ad and then we'll get into, uh, the, some more parts of the show. I think

01:03:53.020 more into the culture war issues of the show. Now that I've made you sit through all of my theories

01:03:58.900 about why the left does the things that they do. This one is from be naked. This is for, uh, the men

01:04:05.400 around you and the women who love them in today's society. It's tough to be a man in a world dominated

01:04:10.900 by overly masculine liberal women. Uh, on the flip side, I would suggest that I might be more masculine

01:04:17.760 than most liberal men. I think I might be more capable in a lot of those non, uh, female

01:04:25.080 traditional things, but seem to be male traditional things. Like I, I hunt and I can fix things.

01:04:30.000 Uh, that's just not how it's meant to be everywhere. We look at gender neutral, this product or made for

01:04:36.000 her, that product. That is why we started a company that embodies the ethos of men's lives matter too

01:04:41.400 with products that aren't designed to be gender neutral or used by people with pronouns. Our products

01:04:46.800 at rumble are designed and built for men by men period. So if you struggle with low energy mood

01:04:51.560 swings or hair loss, or if you need to perform better at the gym, maybe in bed and recover

01:04:56.420 quicker after a throw at all your other garbage supplements and try animal organs. They are

01:05:01.600 traditionally the most nutrient rich supplements on the planet, but our bison organs are a step above

01:05:07.620 the grass fed non-vaccinated bison are a species where the weak are allowed to die and only the strongest

01:05:13.620 survive. So here's our commitment to you from men who have real confidence in their products.

01:05:18.380 Try this today. And if you don't like it, fine, return it for a refund, go to be naked.com code

01:05:23.320 studio and get 15% off today. Uh, one time I ate like a half a bison by myself over the course of a

01:05:30.040 winter. And, uh, I didn't realize that I had done it, but I just went to the freezer and took out some

01:05:35.500 bison meat every single day. And then, uh, it was like May and I was like, all the bison go. And then I

01:05:40.740 realized that, uh, the phone call was coming from inside the house. Okay. Let's get into the next

01:05:47.120 one. My computer just went crazy. So, uh, Tamara, if you want to pick the next thing for us to talk

01:05:52.120 about. Well, of course, our radical federal government has called the U S pulling out of

01:06:00.420 the agency for international development, or sorry, pulling all of their employees out of the U S agency

01:06:07.280 for international development, uh, a dangerous, uh, they're, they're calling it a dangerous retreat

01:06:15.060 for foreign aid and that Canada is deeply concerned about the Trump administration's efforts to,

01:06:22.220 as they put it here in global news, dismantle the United States is lead foreign aid agency.

01:06:28.380 Federal government officials say amid growing alarm about the impact to global charities and aid program,

01:06:35.740 the administration said this week, it is pulling all employees at the U S agency for international

01:06:41.160 development, um, off the job and out of the field globally by the end of Friday. That's today,

01:06:46.640 unless they are deemed essential. Now I clicked that link there. Um, the agency's website was replaced

01:06:54.420 with that removal notice. And so I clicked on that removal notice and they deem anyone, um, designated

01:07:02.180 essential as the mainstream media puts it as personnel responsible for mission, critical functions,

01:07:07.200 core leadership, and specially designated programs. But otherwise on, as of today at 11 59 Eastern,

01:07:14.760 all direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally and essential

01:07:20.360 personnel are expected to continue working with, uh, and they'll be informed by last night. So,

01:07:27.280 uh, Sheila, do you know how many millions or perhaps billions of dollars this saves the United States?

01:07:35.240 Oh, and the trouble it saves. So, uh, besides the amount of money that, uh, was spent directly on USAID,

01:07:45.620 USAID also funded destructive organizations that cost billions of dollars to the American taxpayer to repair

01:07:56.280 the damage done by USAID. Um, and their funding of these organizations. For example, BLM burned down cities,

01:08:02.780 BLM was funded by USAID. How, so, uh, taxpayers end up on the hook for the damage done by these organizations. Um,

01:08:13.240 and, uh, it's like, if you look out of, uh, the, like, just plug in USAID into X and you will just see,

01:08:24.500 like, like, people now are just doing the research. Um, but we're not any better here in Canada,

01:08:32.280 are we? Um, global affairs is the worst of this. Um, but it's not just global affairs. It's Heritage

01:08:42.740 Canada. It is Health Canada, even the Department of National Defense funding weird things. But like,

01:08:51.860 the big three DEI nonsensical ones that Canada pushes this nonsense on the rest of the world,

01:08:57.580 it's Health Canada, it's Global Affairs and Heritage Canada. Um, and now that DOGE is

01:09:05.980 taking apart USAID, they're also moving on to other agencies, which make me very happy. Uh,

01:09:13.700 for example, the EPA, which has been on my radar since Ghostbusters won because the EPA was the

01:09:21.240 reason those ghosts were released into the world. Um, they are basically kicking people out of the

01:09:27.920 EPA until they figure out all the nonsense that the EPA, so that's the Environmental Protection

01:09:32.120 Agency has spending their money on. And again, this is the federal government and Canada does this

01:09:38.020 so well, except we don't see the real cultural problem with this. Uh, the EPA funds these

01:09:45.800 environmental charities and then the environmental charities block the resource, uh, initiative.

01:09:50.980 Same thing happens in Canada. Uh, the, uh, Environment Ministry funds busybodies in, uh, the environmental

01:09:58.940 charity sector. They don't actually do any charity work. And then those people lobby to block Canadian

01:10:04.480 oil and gas, wash, rinse, repeat. We also see it out of Heritage Canada. Heritage Canada gives money to

01:10:10.060 the LGBTQ lobby and then the LGBTQ lobby attacks conservatives and they take, uh, mayors who don't, uh,

01:10:17.320 erect the pride, the pride flag to court in small towns. So, uh, this is happening in Canada. Um, and this

01:10:25.000 should be a real wake up call to us. This is something we've been covering at Rebel News for years. It's

01:10:29.240 something the CTF, uh, Canadian Taxpayers Federation uncovers, but we should all be inspired

01:10:34.300 by what's happening, um, in the United States to now feel, uh, impassioned, moved by the spirit to

01:10:42.700 hold our own government to account, especially as the liberals are on their way out the door.

01:10:46.020 We need to tell the conservatives, you have, uh, the moral authority now to undo all this nonsense

01:10:54.240 and save Canadian taxpayers a bunch of money. Yeah, exactly. I am so here to see that ripple effect

01:11:00.480 come into Canada. I was just looking up the numbers. USAID gives more than they have an annual budget

01:11:07.220 of more than 40 billion, be $40 billion, according to congressional research. Um, and so this was one

01:11:17.380 of the first orders of business that Trump implemented on his, on his first day in office

01:11:22.460 was he immediately froze, uh, foreign assistance. And then Elon Musk's Doge, as you mentioned, the

01:11:29.520 Department of Government Efficiency Office, uh, launched a sweeping review and effort to cut

01:11:35.640 trillions in government spending. And USAID is one of the largest targets, which Musk has called

01:11:42.440 a criminal organization. So they've moved to dismantle the agency, um, putting these hundreds

01:11:49.420 of employees on leave and terminating contracts. Um, after Musk said he was in the process of shutting

01:11:55.920 down the agency that oversees this foreign aid and Trump even criticized it as being run by a bunch

01:12:01.300 of radical lunatics. Um, and again, yeah. And again, Musk calls it a criminal organization because

01:12:08.040 it's just funding private interest. It's not actually making anything better in any parts of the world.

01:12:13.420 And it's certainly not benefiting the United States citizens, right. Who are paying and funding

01:12:19.340 this department to the tune of $40 billion? That is an astronomical amount.

01:12:25.120 Well, and let's be clear. It's not just private interests. It's the political interests of the

01:12:31.320 Democrats that's being funded with a $40 billion war chest. And it is also a political colonization

01:12:40.380 of the developing world. Like they fund, uh, abortion services in Africa, in countries where they don't

01:12:47.440 even have a word to describe the procedure because it is so culturally incompatible with society

01:12:53.640 there. Um, get this U S aid, the U S aid agency, like if this is supposed to be meant like meant for

01:13:04.360 the developing world, do you need electricity to run a hospital in Senegal? That's what this is supposed

01:13:10.200 to be like. Um, to feed the Christians facing extermination in Northern Iraq in 2015. That's

01:13:18.080 what this should have been for. They, uh, gave $128 million to the world economic forum. I think

01:13:25.840 that's cumulative, but why are we giving the world's billionaires? Uh, we, I mean the Western world,

01:13:31.740 but also primarily our friends in the United States, why are they giving the world economic

01:13:36.600 form the world's billionaires, most powerful people in the world, $130 million for their party

01:13:42.740 in a Swiss village every year? Like that's crazy. Yeah. There's our hard earned tax dollars,

01:13:51.180 hard at work. Yeah. Um, so that they can eat filet mignon and pride and troll up around on their private

01:13:57.900 jets and stay in the utmost swankiest of hotels and not eat the bugs as though, as we're all being told

01:14:06.580 to do, um, with our alternative protein promotion. Uh, no, they're eating the steaks and having the

01:14:12.860 drinks and drinking the $12 orange juices. Don't be misled there. Um, imagine, and imagine reading

01:14:21.140 this garbage. If you live in a red state that was hit by a hurricane and you still have a tree on your

01:14:25.800 house and you're like, excuse me, us aid gave $128 million to the world economic forum. And you

01:14:35.700 have your house just split in half by a hurricane, but you live in a red state. So the Democrats didn't

01:14:40.520 send any help for you. Imagine what reading this news feels like for those people, the people suffering

01:14:46.400 the devastating effects of the California wildfires, who I think this was a key point when Trump decided

01:14:53.120 to take these actions was where is, um, the, um, the name is eluding me now, uh, FEMA, where is FEMA?

01:15:00.440 What are, what's FEMA doing right now? Where are they in their help or emergency response?

01:15:05.740 Nowhere to be found, um, completely delayed, leaving people stranded. And so, you know,

01:15:11.280 what Trump is doing and what Elon Musk is doing with this Doge ministry, uh, which hopefully we will

01:15:17.400 have one day soon in Canada is to make sure that these entities are working for the people, not for

01:15:26.200 these foreign aid groups and these supposed charities and just lining the pockets of elite

01:15:31.960 radical agendas, but actually helping to bolster the country where all the money is being funneled from.

01:15:40.640 One of these, sorry, before we move on, I just want to talk about like, this is an incredible thing

01:15:45.520 that Trump is doing, but one of the other incredible things that we talked about yesterday on the show

01:15:49.740 that Trump has done is to protect female spaces, particularly when it comes to sport. Um, and

01:15:57.780 like full credit to Riley Gaines, um, the American collegiate swimmer who really brought this issue to

01:16:05.640 light. And here in Canada, we've got April Hutchinson who has suffered professionally, um,

01:16:11.960 facing, well, not facing, serving a band, um, on competition from her sport for refusing to compete

01:16:20.620 against, uh, a male athlete, um, who now identifies as a female and Andrews. I don't want a dead name.

01:16:28.060 I want to stay on YouTube, but I thought I would make that clear. But, um, if you want to hear from

01:16:34.420 April and you're in the Edmonton area because April's from Ontario. So she's not in Alberta a whole ton.

01:16:39.500 Uh, February 22nd, 2025, she is going to be speaking in one of the best places on the face

01:16:45.840 of the earth, uh, church in the vine. Our good friends, pastors, Tracy and Rodney Fortin are the

01:16:52.480 pastoral team there. Um, so on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025, April Hutchinson, NHL legend, Theo Fleury

01:17:00.080 and rebel news alumnus, Adam Sose are coming to church in the vine in Edmonton for fire and ice.

01:17:06.660 Uh, it's put together by our good friends at Canadians for truth. You can hear April's incredible

01:17:11.700 story from, uh, a traumatic, uh, abuse story as a child to her struggles with addiction to using

01:17:21.300 her sport to get clean and make a difference for all of us, not just for herself, but all women and

01:17:27.720 girls. Um, you'll hear a story of resilience, her victories and her fight for fairness in women's

01:17:32.240 course. So get your tickets now at Canadians for truth.ca. I will see you there. Uh, my friend

01:17:37.960 Lisa and I are going to, we're just going, we're going to show support for April. Plus I want to

01:17:43.020 catch up with pastor Tracy and Rodney. Those of you who remember their story, they faced an 80,

01:17:48.640 actually they were hit with an $80,000 penalty for opening their church during COVID. Um, but through

01:17:55.200 the good work of the people over at the democracy fund and through your donations to the democracy

01:18:01.480 fund, we were able to have that administrative penalty overturned, uh, so that the church can

01:18:07.580 do good work with that $80,000 instead of paying it to the hurt feelings of health bureaucrats. So,

01:18:13.180 um, anyways, that's Canadians for truth, uh, on February 22nd. Tamara, you can pick the next story.

01:18:18.920 Yeah. I just wanted to hit the last, uh, topic in our headline, which is where the Justin Trudeau

01:18:27.180 liberals, um, are signing a letter accusing Trump's plan of what he plans to do with Gaza by, um,

01:18:37.380 restoring some form of sanity and, um, livable conditions in the area as ethnic cleansing.

01:18:46.740 Two federal cabinet, uh, this is from the national post, two federal cabinet ministers and several

01:18:52.980 liberal MPs have signed their names to a statement condemning U S president Donald Trump's proposal

01:18:58.860 to relocate Palestinians out of Gaza into neighboring Arab countries as ethnic cleansing. I don't think

01:19:07.180 that that really meets the definition of ethnic cleansing because it sounds like they're just

01:19:13.240 being relocated into a place where they can, you know, actually live more comfortably, but ethnic

01:19:19.680 cleansing refers to, um, something a little bit more darker as far as I'm concerned, but that's

01:19:25.620 the way with the laugh. Two needs definitions when you can just use these inflammatory statements and

01:19:30.560 make people fall in line and get behind whatever it is that you're saying, um, because they are,

01:19:36.040 you know, the, the useless eaters that just follow along and they'll just go along to get along and

01:19:41.160 not actually think critically or for themselves. You know, I got a real tough time hearing the word

01:19:46.320 ethnic cleansing from the likes who refuse to declare what was happening in the Christians in

01:19:52.020 the Nineveh plane, uh, under ISIS, a genocide that had to be shamed by a, uh, Kurdish or sorry,

01:19:59.400 Yazidi, a genocide survivor in the house of commons before they could declare, uh, what was happening

01:20:05.580 there? A genocide. And I've been there. It was nothing short of a genocide. Um, these are the

01:20:11.840 same people who refused to declare several times and some of them still do refuse. Like for example,

01:20:18.460 Mark Carney, I dug up a clip from a committee where he refused to acknowledge what's happening in

01:20:24.660 Xinjiang province in China, uh, to the Uyghurs there to be a genocide. They are being stripped of their

01:20:32.540 Muslim names, uh, their Korans taken from them, their language taken from them, their entire

01:20:38.000 identities taken from them in the women are even being sterilized. Um, but that's definitely not

01:20:43.540 a genocide according to Mark Carney. Why? Because that's where he gets his solar panels from is from

01:20:48.120 the slave labor there. Uh, and so they're about to elect that guy, a leader of their party. So I got a

01:20:53.660 real tough time hearing what amounts to ethnic cleansing, um, in Gaza. Uh, no, I, I just, I just

01:21:01.820 don't take their flawed definition of this. Um, Gaza, if we are to believe the left, they tell me it's

01:21:10.460 destroyed. So where better to relocate to these people from a completely leveled society? Again, if you

01:21:20.060 believe the left, um, that it was just haphazard from the Israelis, which it definitely wasn't, but

01:21:25.220 if you believe the arguments of the left, wouldn't it be better to relocate these people to a place

01:21:31.220 where they are culturally compatible and stay within the region instead of yanking them out of their

01:21:39.360 country and placing them in Canada? Like they tell me it's not ethnic cleansing if we relocate them to

01:21:46.080 Canada, but it is ethnic cleansing if we relocate them to Jordan when so many of them have Jordanian

01:21:53.720 last names. Give me like it, make it make sense because none of it does. Well, and in, uh, I think

01:22:03.400 it was 2023, the liberals voted unanimously in favor of resettling 10,000 Uyghur Muslim refugees from

01:22:15.400 China into, as you've mentioned, into Canada over the course of two years. And so how is that not

01:22:23.640 ethnic? The, just the use of ethnic cleansing here is just so grotesque of a way to frame this

01:22:33.260 resettlement that has happened. I mean, what about, um, when Canada took in all of these Ukrainian

01:22:40.540 refugees, what about the Syrian refugees? What about, you know, there's all of these other instances where

01:22:45.780 people have been relocated and resettled into regions to escape the devastation of, of war. And, uh, for

01:22:55.460 some reason this is ethnic cleansing now all of a sudden. Right. If, if we resettle them here, it's not

01:23:02.440 ethnic cleansing. If we resettle them within the region where their culture exists, that is ethnic

01:23:09.300 cleansing. Feels like that's, those definitions are opposite and even an exaggeration. Uh, it's,

01:23:15.760 it's not ethnic cleansing to keep people in a region where their culture is. Also, like if they

01:23:21.920 have family in the region, why would you take them out? And then now they have like a two day journey

01:23:25.760 from Canada, which is onerously expensive to go back to visit family. Wouldn't you want to stay

01:23:31.940 closer to home? If that were the plan? You're thinking a little too rationally, Sheila. I don't think

01:23:38.200 you're supposed to do that. I'm doing it again. I'm doing it again. With the left. Um, we have

01:23:42.140 another ad read to get to, but just, I think we might have time to play this clip that's just

01:23:47.080 come out about 20, not even 20 minutes ago. It's, um, apparently leaked audio where Trudeau warns

01:23:52.800 business leaders at the Canada U.S. Economic Summit that Donald Trump is serious about annexing Canada

01:23:59.580 or, and, or making it the 51st state.

01:24:03.620 In Donald Trump's mind, easier just to take the imperialist approach, the sort of the manifest

01:24:09.340 destiny theory back, uh, back on again here. Um, and, and sort of, uh, take Canada over, um,

01:24:16.540 similar to what, you know, comments we've heard him make about Greenland, for example, which also has

01:24:21.660 critical minerals. Um, we have tried to sort of isolate and boost the audio. So it's a little bit

01:24:26.480 easier to hear. Um, but we do have a short snippet of, of what our, our equipment was

01:24:31.660 able to capture, uh, that Trudeau said next.

01:24:45.760 Okay. And then it cuts out, but, uh, he's sort of telling the crowd that sort of, I, this is his

01:24:51.660 impression coming away. Now, is this surprising to hear him say this in this form? Not necessarily.

01:24:56.480 Hmm. I'm not sure what to make of that one. He could have been talking about the tariffs being

01:25:03.940 a real threat. I'll have to listen a bit closer to that. Uh, I, I don't know if Donald Trump is

01:25:11.400 serious. I don't know if Justin Trudeau is bright enough to know the difference. And that's where I

01:25:16.740 think the problem is. We're hearing Justin Trudeau's idiotic, empty-headed interpretation

01:25:25.780 of a conversation or statements made by President Trump. And is Justin Trudeau bright enough to

01:25:34.900 understand the tone and tenor of that conversation? In my expert assessment, definitely not. So I,

01:25:41.940 I don't know if, if Donald Trump meant that. Um, but again, I reiterate that in the joking,

01:25:48.660 there's the real heart of the truth of it all. And that is, uh, Donald Trump's incessant teasing

01:25:57.140 of taking us over reveals that under Justin Trudeau, our economy is in shambles. Uh, our military

01:26:07.900 is in shambles. Canadians are demoralized, beaten down and broke. And, and our society is in absolute

01:26:15.880 decay from crime, fentanyl, poverty, and, and just, uh, malaise, dissatisfied with society.

01:26:26.280 The Canadian dream is gone. Um, and the liberals killed it. And so that's the truth of what just,

01:26:34.300 or of what Trump is saying when he teases about making us the 51st state, um, is that anybody could

01:26:40.160 take us over economically or militarily. Uh, and that has to do with Justin Trudeau's management

01:26:46.120 of the place and by goodwill and good neighborliness, the Americans haven't done it yet.

01:26:54.080 Yeah. I would say mismanagement of the country. And, uh, and, and again, I mentioned this the other

01:27:00.300 day on the live stream, Trump is a businessman. He sees the vast amount of natural resources that

01:27:05.440 we have available that are not being utilized, that are being suppressed by the liberal government.

01:27:10.460 And, and he's pointing out some very real and clear vulnerabilities that we have under the

01:27:16.420 mismanagement of the Justin Trudeau liberals who just appointed his friends from his wedding party

01:27:20.860 to, um, top ministerial positions rather than appointing who's the best fit for the job. I mean,

01:27:26.780 this is how it has been a consistent theme of the liberals reign of terror, as I've put it is to,

01:27:32.540 um, hire and appoint and select people based on diversity, equity, and inclusion. And in this

01:27:40.400 case, the inclusion of you in Trudeau's closest friend circle and not on the merits of who's the

01:27:46.660 real best fit for the job, but rather who, you know, how close you are to Trudeau, how much he trusts

01:27:52.740 you and whether or not you went to his wedding. Yeah. Uh, or if you were his babysitter, like

01:27:57.440 Dominic LeBlanc, who I guess continues that role as the finance minister. Uh, we've got, uh, just a

01:28:04.800 little bit more context from that statement from, uh, our friends at the Western standard. This is,

01:28:11.140 uh, what they have, uh, Justin Trudeau saying, God, they're so good at headlines over the Western

01:28:17.640 standard, by the way. Uh, he says they're of the Americans. They're very aware of our resources of

01:28:24.600 what we have, and they very much want to be able to benefit from those. Trudeau said in an answer to

01:28:29.900 a question from the floor after media had been ushered out of the room. So he didn't think that

01:28:34.380 the media would hear this, but Mr. Trump has it in mind that one of the easiest ways of doing that is

01:28:40.280 absorbing our country. And it is a real thing. Uh, there is something really telling in this is

01:28:48.900 that Justin Trudeau is actually acknowledging the wealth of our natural resources were they to be

01:28:53.940 unleashed. Um, but he's not, and the Americans are willing to do that. So, um, I guess the real

01:29:02.280 question for Justin Trudeau is if the Americans acknowledge the wealth of our natural resources,

01:29:07.180 why have you not allowed Canada to benefit from those?

01:29:12.980 Anyway, and we'll probably never know since he is the outgoing prime minister and, uh, we'll see

01:29:19.220 what happens on the political front in the coming weeks and month ahead. I know that the, uh, federal

01:29:24.620 court will hear a motion to un-Pirogue parliament next week. And if that's successful, I don't know how

01:29:32.120 timely that could be before the end of March, which is when parliament's set to resume. I think it's

01:29:36.980 March 25th, um, how successful that might be in getting them back to business a little bit sooner

01:29:42.940 rather than later. But, uh, it's interesting times we're living in with no federal leadership

01:29:47.940 and yet the leader that stepped down and resigned still leading the country. So yeah. And yay,

01:29:54.060 to be vindictive, promising to be ruthless and ruthless and his final weeks. Thank you so much,

01:30:01.780 Justin Trudeau. Okay. We've got one more ad read and then I think we wrapped the show. Um,

01:30:06.300 yes, this one is from rumble. It's one that's incredibly important to the survival of rumble,

01:30:11.160 of course, but also to us here at rebel news. You see when rumble first started in 2013,

01:30:15.320 they built a platform for the small creator. They didn't censor or have biases. They were fair

01:30:20.320 and treated all creators equally. No one thought platforms would censor political conversation

01:30:23.860 or censor opinions on COVID, but they did. Facebook admitted they felt a pressure from the Biden

01:30:28.300 and Harris administration. We know in Canada, health Canada was leaning hard on Facebook to

01:30:32.780 censor the common man who was just sharing their experiences on COVID rumble did not. However,

01:30:38.140 they held the line. They are attacked daily by giving us a voice to talk to you. They're attacked

01:30:42.100 in corporate media. They're attacked by governments like France. Oh, and Canada, but we'll get to that.

01:30:46.760 They are attacked from brand advertisers who refuse to work with them. Corporate America is fighting

01:30:51.900 to remove speech. Rumble is fighting to keep it. Rumble won't survive with brand advertisers.

01:30:56.740 They don't get much of it. Watching our show right now as you are on rumble is the most they can ask

01:31:02.880 of you. But if you really believe in this fight and you have the means, one major way you can help

01:31:06.180 rumble survive is by joining rumble premium. What you can do right now is go cancel your YouTube

01:31:43.980 definitely if you don't, governments pick in your pocket harder than ever before. We're just happy if you

01:31:48.460 watch us on rumble. And I think that's it. Unless we have any chats, Tamara, I will let you wrap up

01:31:55.180 the show. I don't think we do. All right. So right on the nose, almost an hour and a half, our new

01:32:00.940 limit for the daily now daily, once again, live stream. Um, thank you everybody who made this all

01:32:07.680 possible, especially our super producer, Olivia, who makes sure that we have those clips and videos

01:32:13.340 to share with you and grabs those headlines and things that we discuss kind of on the fly

01:32:18.240 for added context on screen. It's always really helpful for the viewer to see that stuff that

01:32:23.380 we're referring to. Um, and all the bodies behind the scenes who, you know, write the copy, get the

01:32:28.900 links ready. And it's Sheila and I up front and center, but there are so many people behind us that

01:32:34.360 make sure that this show is possible and run smoothly. So thanks to all of them. We will be back

01:32:39.940 here. Same time and place on Monday with, I think Sheila and myself, or maybe even Ezra. I know,

01:32:47.620 obviously as the head honcho, as the head honcho, everybody loves Ezra. Um, so it's always a hit when

01:32:54.080 he is able to free up some time in his crazy busy schedule to join and, um, have a great weekend.
