00:01:34.060 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you,

00:01:37.580 in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite rebels.

00:01:42.280 I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:01:44.440 Well, Drea Humphrey ventured into a Vancouver park that has devolved into a filthy tent city. 1.00

00:01:50.100 She met many wonderful, tolerant, and smart thinkers residing there.

00:01:54.820 No, actually, she did not.

00:01:56.880 Just will you see her report.

00:01:59.240 And Tamara Ugolini weighs in on the hysteria being generated regarding kids going back to school during the pandemic.

00:02:07.480 Hysteria that is simply not justified when you examine the stats and the science.

00:02:13.340 And finally, letters.

00:02:15.060 We get your letters.

00:02:15.820 We get your letters every minute of every day.

00:02:18.040 And I'll share some of your responses regarding our run-in at a hockey rink with the mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown,

00:02:24.560 the guy who has slapped hundreds of his own residents with those $880 Wuhan virus tickets.

00:02:31.280 But when it comes to Brown obeying the rules, well, it's one law for me and one law for thee.

00:02:37.840 Those are your rebels.

00:02:39.000 Now let's round them up.

00:02:43.340 I'm Drea Humphrey with Rebel News, and we're just seeing what KT Camp wants the, not the world, but Canada to know.

00:02:53.440 And we're talking about the tax revolt.

00:02:56.220 Have you guys heard about that?

00:02:58.320 No.

00:02:59.620 I can go get who's in charge of this camp.

00:03:03.160 Sure.

00:03:03.500 But it would be great if you could not film around because these are people's homes.

00:03:06.840 So just wait until we can speak with the leader of this camp because, yeah, it's people living here, so.

00:03:14.520 Sure.

00:03:14.880 It's a public park though, right?

00:03:17.220 It's homes.

00:03:18.540 It's homes.

00:03:19.260 Yeah.

00:03:19.540 These are very respectful, but it is a park, right?

00:03:22.340 Okay.

00:03:22.500 So it would be great if you could not film people personally.

00:03:25.680 Okay.

00:03:26.280 Well, the gentleman was actually, he invited me in here and I had permission to film him.

00:03:30.100 What was that?

00:03:30.120 Very clever touch.

00:03:31.200 The black. 0.90

00:03:31.660 The black is a clever touch.

00:03:33.780 This is a public park, doesn't it?

00:03:35.980 But it's native land.

00:03:37.420 Yeah.

00:03:37.660 I'm actually indigenous too.

00:03:39.120 That's what it is.

00:03:39.560 I'm black and indigenous. 0.99

00:03:40.500 No, you're black. 0.99

00:03:41.400 You're not indigenous. 1.00

00:03:42.240 Excuse you.

00:03:43.220 Stop.

00:03:43.740 Stop.

00:03:43.920 Stop.

00:03:43.940 Oh, apparently he knows who I am more than I do.

00:03:46.780 No.

00:03:47.660 Yeah.

00:03:48.060 I know you're not native Indian.

00:03:50.080 Stop.

00:03:50.840 That's not true.

00:03:51.940 Stop.

00:03:52.440 Go away.

00:03:53.720 Okay.

00:03:54.800 I'll go speak with the leader of this camp.

00:03:57.640 Sure.

00:03:57.720 Until then it would be great if you could just refrain from filming people and filming.

00:04:01.740 Okay.

00:04:01.980 Well, I'll keep filming.

00:04:03.000 This is journalism.

00:04:03.900 This is Canada.

00:04:04.520 I'm allowed to film, but I will be very respectful and I'd love to speak to whoever's running the

00:04:08.920 camp.

00:04:09.160 Okay.

00:04:09.660 Okay.

00:04:10.220 Thank you.

00:04:11.540 Yeah.

00:04:11.960 So I spoke with the leader.

00:04:13.360 She's on her way.

00:04:14.240 Okay.

00:04:14.420 Um, but first we need you to do protocol at our sacred fire.

00:04:18.640 Oh, okay.

00:04:19.440 Okay.

00:04:19.720 So what is that?

00:04:20.740 That's putting tobacco in as an offering to the sacred fire.

00:04:24.480 Um, that's over on this side.

00:04:26.400 An offering to the sacred fire.

00:04:29.060 That sounds like religious, right? 0.63

00:04:31.920 It's indigenous.

00:04:33.300 Yeah.

00:04:33.720 Okay.

00:04:34.060 So I'm indigenous, but I'm Christian.

00:04:36.320 Okay.

00:04:36.580 So do I have to, am I forced to practice a different religion to be here in this public

00:04:41.100 park or?

00:04:42.440 Yeah.

00:04:42.820 On stolen land.

00:04:44.420 This is the protocol that we use here.

00:04:47.140 Everyone that comes by is asked to put tobacco in the fire, regardless of religion.

00:04:52.560 Um, there's many people who are religious of different religions that come to do protocol.

00:04:57.360 It's being respectful to our elder who is here keeping the sacred fire.

00:05:02.260 So, okay.

00:05:03.260 So, okay.

00:05:04.180 So, so just to, so I understand, is the fire representative of some sort of, um, like spiritual

00:05:13.700 God?

00:05:14.340 Am I doing some sort of offering to something or?

00:05:17.260 It's a prayer fire.

00:05:18.440 So that can be to whatever God that you are praying to.

00:05:21.660 It's a prayer fire.

00:05:22.880 It's not definite on any kind of God or religion.

00:05:27.100 Okay.

00:05:28.340 Yeah.

00:05:28.860 It's not specific to any God or religion.

00:05:31.860 It's kind of like going to the Mandarin buffet restaurant.

00:05:34.960 Let's see.

00:05:35.380 I'll have a couple of Quranic verses, a chapter from the New Testament.

00:05:39.520 Oh, this line from the Torah.

00:05:40.920 That looks pretty good.

00:05:42.100 I guess when you stand for everything, you really stand for nothing.

00:05:46.680 I'll strike that because really, what do these squatters actually stand for, given that they

00:05:52.720 seem wholly unable to articulate their positions?

00:05:56.760 And joining me now to discuss her descent into tent city madness is Drea Humphrey.

00:06:03.220 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Drea.

00:06:05.520 Hey, good to see you.

00:06:07.480 Good to see you, my friend.

00:06:08.880 So, Drea, first of all, who are these people and what do they want?

00:06:13.440 Because they may talk all about a sacred fire or a sacred circle or a sacred whatever, but

00:06:19.580 that looked like a tennis court to me.

00:06:22.240 Yeah, well, that is, it was a tennis court and I guess that's where they have their kitchen

00:06:28.960 and their setup and everything like that.

00:06:31.260 And I'm not sure who, how they became the leaders of the camp or anything like that.

00:06:38.900 It's quite interesting.

00:06:40.160 I know while I was talking, someone just came and like handed a coffee over to one of them.

00:06:46.180 Like, it's just like no big deal.

00:06:48.040 And it was kind of like they were the queens of the encampment.

00:06:52.240 You know, it is amazing to me that they are clearly disobeying the laws of the land.

00:06:58.660 They must be violating several sections of Vancouver's Trespass Act.

00:07:04.660 And so they're saying, well, we don't recognize the law.

00:07:07.840 I'm assuming this is unceded land, you know, the whole drill.

00:07:11.420 And then when someone like you comes over to practice journalism, they're like the heavy-handed

00:07:17.860 colonialists coming down, enforcing their rules, rules that are actually entrenched.

00:07:27.100 They don't follow. 0.94

00:07:28.240 I mean, what I'm getting at, Drea, is that the hypocrisy is stunning here.

00:07:32.180 It really is.

00:07:34.360 I mean, at what point as Indigenous people is it okay to do that?

00:07:39.140 That's the whole complaint is that some people under the name of Christianity, you know, were

00:07:45.460 indoctrinating and colonizing and forcing things on people.

00:07:50.200 And then here I am, Black and Indigenous, and I'm being told that I can't go on a public park,

00:07:56.620 I can't do journalism unless I sort of bow down and do some sort of spiritual offering

00:08:03.100 that I know nothing about.

00:08:05.620 I mean, it's totally hypocrisy.

00:08:09.000 Drea, can we focus, too, on the law enforcement angle here?

00:08:12.940 It's clearly illegal what they're doing.

00:08:14.700 It looks like they've been there for a long time.

00:08:16.400 And we've had in this city, in Toronto, run-ins with a group of squatters called Afro-Indigenous 1.00

00:08:22.140 Rising.

00:08:22.680 They took over Nathan Phillips Square for three weeks.

00:08:25.900 They took over Dufferin Grove Park for two weeks.

00:08:29.360 They're belligerent.

00:08:30.580 They're violent.

00:08:32.320 The camps they set up were unhygienic.

00:08:35.820 They were violating 11 sections of the Trespact Act.

00:08:38.620 But it seems that the mayor is in the position here of taking the knee and saying, pretty pleased,

00:08:44.500 won't you go?

00:08:45.000 Pretty pleased with sugar on top.

00:08:47.120 I guess what I'm saying is, what is the role of the mayor and law enforcement there in terms

00:08:51.960 of getting these people to obey the law?

00:08:55.560 Well, I do know that this is pretty much the third encampment.

00:09:00.520 So it started, you know, at two other locations and then got taken down.

00:09:05.120 And now it's gone to Strathcona Park and it's kind of blown up.

00:09:08.800 So, I do know that there has been steps before for this type of thing to be removed.

00:09:15.640 And I think my guess is that they're trying to approach it a little bit differently.

00:09:19.680 So it is like an ongoing problem.

00:09:21.860 But the bylaws of, you know, the tents having to be taken down every morning at 7 a.m.

00:09:28.680 so that it can be a public park in the day for anybody to walk through.

00:09:33.420 And that's just not being enforced at all.

00:09:37.100 You know, it's amazing because I think that might have been the same park.

00:09:40.640 It was definitely a Vancouver park.

00:09:42.400 Last September, I was in Vancouver.

00:09:44.340 It was for a different assignment, Drea.

00:09:46.100 And on local Vancouver radio, all the stations were leading with, at 6 p.m., that's it.

00:09:53.140 The deadline's done.

00:09:54.180 The cops are coming in.

00:09:55.240 If the squatters aren't gone, it's going to be basically a forcible removal.

00:10:00.800 So I whipped over to the park an hour before teardown time.

00:10:04.520 6 p.m., came and went.

00:10:06.940 Nothing happened.

00:10:08.000 There were notices all over the park on the fences.

00:10:10.880 You have until 6 p.m. to vacate the premises.

00:10:13.240 Just when I was packing up, after I made the video of this being a big nothing burger,

00:10:18.320 I see all these police cruisers, these Vancouver police companies.

00:10:21.640 I go, oh, okay, it's showtime.

00:10:23.700 Oh, no, Drea.

00:10:24.820 They were there to escort a protest of people in support of the squatters.

00:10:31.680 They weren't tearing it down.

00:10:33.380 They were adding another log onto the fire.

00:10:35.920 What is going on in this city?

00:10:38.280 You know, I think it's, as far as I can see,

00:10:41.440 it's an ongoing problem in B.C. in general.

00:10:43.820 I know the same thing has happened in Maple Ridge.

00:10:46.300 I know it's happening right now in Victoria.

00:10:49.060 So it's really complicated, and I don't know what it is.

00:10:54.840 I think people are, I think the political correctness has jumped into it.

00:11:00.520 And I think that's a lot of the reason why we don't see the bylaws being enforced

00:11:05.900 or things getting removed when they're supposed to.

00:11:09.980 Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but, you know, and I think you're right.

00:11:12.980 It is political correctness.

00:11:14.180 But Lady Justice, she is shown with a blindfold on. 1.00

00:11:17.400 All these kind of factors shouldn't have anything to do with the enforcement of the law.

00:11:22.860 And if you let this kind of stuff go, you end up with a Portland. 0.94

00:11:28.400 And I would bet you the majority of the citizens in Vancouver are sick and tired of this garbage, 0.82

00:11:33.980 and they want something to be done. 0.94

00:11:35.520 One last question, Drea.

00:11:36.720 I thought the most squirm-inducing moment in your video is when you had this white guy, 0.97

00:11:43.640 and this guy was whiter than Snow White, and he's questioning your racial resume

00:11:50.020 in terms of you being allowed to be in this occupied tennis court.

00:11:55.220 What did you make of that guy's chutzpah?

00:11:58.560 Oh, it's such a mess, you know.

00:12:00.660 I don't even think he was questioning.

00:12:02.320 He was, like, stating that I wasn't who I was.

00:12:05.700 I thought it was hilarious.

00:12:08.380 You know, we're seeing that so much nowadays. 0.83

00:12:11.360 You have these left-extreme liberal white people who come after things like black conservatives

00:12:19.120 or, in this case, just a black indigenous journalist trying to bring freedom of the press. 0.82

00:12:26.220 And, you know, they're so strong because it's almost like a brainwashing thing.

00:12:30.460 It's like it does not compute. 0.87

00:12:32.840 There is a black indigenous who's not wanting to do exactly what we're doing. 1.00

00:12:38.560 It's like it doesn't compute. 0.99

00:12:40.180 So he was just speaking his mind and going off, and I'm just like, oh, this is just so illogical, so ridiculous. 0.83

00:12:49.220 And, you know, it's funny, even that young girl, she's just like, no, go away, go away, because I don't know. 0.95

00:12:55.320 I don't know where he came from.

00:12:56.660 He was getting his coffee and felt he knew more about me than I knew about myself, really.

00:13:01.900 Well, I'll tell you, Andrea, my jaw was on the linoleum watching that little interchange.

00:13:06.940 And I just long for the good old days when people would go to a park to, I don't know, have a picnic, play some baseball.

00:13:14.140 Now you go to the park, and all you do really is play hop, skip, and a jump to avoid the excrement and the needles that are on the ground.

00:13:21.860 So let's hope somebody mans up in Vancouver and returns the parkland to the citizens who pay for it.

00:13:30.500 Thank you so much for an excellent report, Drea.

00:13:33.220 Thank you.

00:13:34.360 Bye, everyone.

00:13:35.500 You take care.

00:13:36.500 And that was Drea Humphrey in Vancouver.

00:13:38.960 Keep it here.

00:13:39.620 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:13:41.980 The Ontario government has released its best guess plan for reopening schools in September.

00:13:52.220 Doug Ford notes that when it comes to keeping our kids safe, I won't take any unnecessary risks.

00:13:58.060 Well, it looks like the original recommendation by Toronto's leading experts at SickKids Hospital was thrown a political curveball when the updated guidance for school reopening

00:14:08.080 doesn't appear to be based on any science or evidence-based decision-making.

00:14:13.220 The suggested implementations will have lasting psychological effects, especially to the youngest and most vulnerable pupils,

00:14:20.740 not to mention it looks like they're entirely unnecessary.

00:14:25.140 That is, if you look at the data.

00:14:27.560 The guideline published by SickKids is riddled with concerning verbiage, such as evidence specific to children and youth on non-medical masks is lacking.

00:14:35.740 There is a lack of evidence that wearing a non-medical mask prevents SARS-CoV-2 transmission in children and in youth.

00:14:44.320 There are limited data on the effectiveness on non-medical masks used for source control, but there remains a theoretical benefit, especially for older children and youth.

00:14:55.200 Studies focusing on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the school setting are limited.

00:15:00.080 There is limited evidence on which to base a pre-specified class size.

00:15:05.740 We can see the reoccurring theme here.

00:15:09.120 Limited, lacking, and theoretical.

00:15:12.140 It's almost as if they all went, well, there's limited data and evidence, but there's a theoretical probability.

00:15:17.960 So let's implement these psychologically damaging protocols and hope for the best because health and safety first.

00:15:25.400 So what does the data say?

00:15:28.060 Check out this screenshot from Ontario's Public Health Epidemiological Stats.

00:15:32.400 Children are at a 0% risk of death from the Wuhan flu.

00:15:36.820 There have been zero deaths reported in the province of Ontario in the age groups of 0 to 30.

00:15:41.960 So follow me here for a second.

00:15:44.540 If we contrast this with data from the Ministry of Transportation...

00:15:47.780 Oh, wow.

00:15:51.160 Children are actually exponentially more likely to die being transported to and from school than they are from the virus.

00:16:00.080 Well, the solution is obvious, isn't it, folks?

00:16:02.380 Let's ban commuting, or better yet, let's just ban the automobile.

00:16:05.400 Yes, of course, I guess, but trust me, there are likely some Greta Thunberg acolytes out there nodding in agreement.

00:16:12.460 And joining me now to discuss this further is one of our newest Rebel reporters, Tamara Ugolini.

00:16:18.180 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, Tamara.

00:16:19.740 Thank you, David.

00:16:20.600 Pleasure to have you in here.

00:16:21.980 Tamara, you know, it's very interesting, the Wuhan virus.

00:16:24.900 When you look at the stats, healthy children, that is the least likely demographic to get the Wuhan virus.

00:16:35.700 And yet, look at what we're doing.

00:16:38.280 We have, in this province, we cancelled sleepover summer camp for kids, which I think was an absolute atrocious shame.

00:16:46.260 And now there is this hysteria about going back to school when you showed in your superb report that if you look at the statistics, when you look at the science, that's not where the hysteria should be.

00:17:01.040 In fact, if anything, we should be directing more resources to long-term care facilities where 82% of the deaths from this virus have occurred.

00:17:10.300 That's right. Yeah, I mean, I think the government, it's been highlighted several times to the Ford government that the people most at risk here are the elderly.

00:17:21.960 And, of course, that military report highlighted the squalor that these poor people are living in.

00:17:27.740 I mean, that's a disease-breeding environment in and of itself.

00:17:31.080 So, why the focus isn't there and on these poor, elderly, vulnerable populations instead of the children.

00:17:39.680 And as that graph from Ontario Public Health showed, zero to 30, like next to zero risk there for that age group.

00:17:48.200 So, you know, hypocrisy seems to be more and more the new normal.

00:17:54.100 So, what are they thinking? What are they doing here?

00:17:57.540 Yeah, what are they doing? It's funny you say that because yesterday in The Sun, there was a column by Smokey Thompson.

00:18:05.220 He, of course, is the president of the Ontario, what is it, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union.

00:18:14.400 And in his column, Tamara, basically what he was saying was about going back to school.

00:18:20.440 He said it's going to take a lot of work in a short period of time to make it happen.

00:18:25.220 And then one of his concluding graphs is, we are calling for a brief timeout for all of the players to be part of a plan that puts health and safety first.

00:18:36.100 In other words, he wants two more weeks of summer vacation for the teachers.

00:18:41.280 Tamara, the schools have been locked down since mid-March.

00:18:44.860 They need more time?

00:18:47.120 I mean, what have they been doing all these months?

00:18:49.480 Yeah, what is it, six months now, two weeks to flatten the curve, and here we are still have best guess solutions for back to school.

00:18:57.360 I mean, riddled in that SickKids report, you saw it, was a lot of theoreticals and possibilities.

00:19:02.920 But let's look at the data, let's look at the science, let's get some experts who are, you know, able to do the same and decipher for themselves and provide actual recommendations that make sense.

00:19:16.740 And again, if we're talking about the health and safety of children, well, let's prioritize their psychological health and emotional, mental, and of course, their actual ability to be in a classroom and learn.

00:19:29.220 I mean, masking teachers for some of these poor students, they're not going to know what's going on.

00:19:35.400 They won't be able to understand and decipher what their teacher is even saying to them.

00:19:39.760 And Tamara, isn't this part of the problem? 0.88

00:19:41.720 You mentioned experts and what the experts are saying, and yet, if we go back several months, Dr. Theresa Tam was saying, don't wear masks.

00:19:50.320 On March the 8th, you can look it up, folks, Dr. Fauci in the U.S., Theresa Tam's equivalent in America, was speaking out against masks.

00:20:00.680 It was going to do more harm than good.

00:20:02.680 He said that.

00:20:03.320 And suddenly, they do a 180.

00:20:05.900 So, I don't know, as someone who is not a virologist, I'm getting really, you know, confused and concerned about what the real truth is.

00:20:18.220 That's right.

00:20:18.780 And I think a lot of people are starting to see that there doesn't seem to be a lot of cohesiveness in these recommendations.

00:20:24.760 I mean, the government's pretty much been the leading outputter of misinformation throughout the whole COVID-19 pandemic.

00:20:34.580 They told us masks don't work.

00:20:36.580 We won't need to close down the borders.

00:20:38.340 The Wuhan flu is going to sail right over Canada.

00:20:41.140 And I think Theresa Tam even said that closing borders is racist. 1.00

00:20:45.180 Oh, yeah.

00:20:45.560 Well, I remember Nancy Pelosi saying, go to Chinatown and celebrate Chinese New Year. 0.96

00:20:51.180 And if you don't, you're a racist.

00:20:52.640 So, forget about social distancing back then.

00:20:55.820 And now, you know, you've got to keep two metres or six feet apart.

00:20:59.420 When they note even the one metre potentially provides protection.

00:21:03.220 So, it's like, where are these recommendations coming from?

00:21:06.540 Are they evidence-based?

00:21:08.380 And why the two metres and not the one?

00:21:11.080 If we even, if we highlight, like the Sick Kids Report even can highlight, the one metre still offers protection.

00:21:16.300 Well, and to pursue this line of thinking even further, Tamara, we know from the death toll of the Wuhan virus, this is really just a very bad flu season kind of death toll.

00:21:28.680 When you look at the numbers, not the infections, but the people that actually died.

00:21:32.100 So, if masks are effective and work, then why haven't health authorities for years during flu season being, you know, mandating masks?

00:21:44.160 We know the flu is highly infectious.

00:21:46.160 So, why for those flus were masks not even thought of and suddenly for this particular type of flu, if you want to call it that, it's mandatory?

00:21:54.960 Right. Yeah, that's a great question.

00:21:57.100 And I think that as you can research and find the data that shows that masking the general public, who've never been educated in how to properly, they call it donning and docking.

00:22:09.020 So, the correct way to take on and put on a mask.

00:22:13.180 I mean, people, the general public have no idea how to do these sorts of protocols.

00:22:17.500 So, what they're doing is actually just increasing their infection risk because they're touching inside of their mask, they're taking it on and off, they're holding it down on their chin.

00:22:25.800 I mean, they're putting it in their pocket.

00:22:26.960 And that's exactly what Dr. Fauci was saying.

00:22:28.980 Yeah.

00:22:29.780 As to why this is worse than, you know, going maskless.

00:22:35.140 So, it's crazy.

00:22:36.200 And yet, you know, Tamara, I just anecdotally, when I'm out and about, I just see so many people complying with this.

00:22:43.100 When they're walking alone outdoors, when somebody is driving in their own vehicle by themselves and they're masked up.

00:22:51.100 And, you know, it's staggering.

00:22:52.620 And we're going a bit off topic, but, you know, when I first met you, it was in Coburg.

00:22:58.440 It was for that caper about people reclaiming the beach.

00:23:02.940 And they found a way around the bylaw.

00:23:04.880 You could go up the pier and jump into the water and they couldn't do anything about that.

00:23:10.420 And yet, that's public.

00:23:12.000 That information is out there.

00:23:13.480 But we spoke off camera.

00:23:15.040 I thought the people of Coburg and the tourists coming into Coburg would say, hey, here is a lawful way to enjoy that beautiful beach at Coburg.

00:23:23.820 But nobody, hardly anybody at least, is doing that.

00:23:28.140 Are they?

00:23:28.920 Yeah.

00:23:29.160 So, well, first of all, there is no bylaw in place in Coburg.

00:23:32.380 They've just arbitrarily closed off the beach with the fencing.

00:23:36.900 There's not an actual bylaw in place.

00:23:38.920 It's just, it's closed, end of story.

00:23:41.560 You can't access the beach.

00:23:43.540 However, you've always been able to access the beach from the pier and go through into the shoreline.

00:23:49.300 I mean, there's a lot of gray area with who actually owns that space and what the rights are of the people to access the shoreline of Great Lake.

00:23:59.060 Now, in Coburg, I think it was 2007, the opposite side of the beach, it's called West Beach in Coburg.

00:24:06.160 And not where we were filming that day, but just west of where we were, about three kilometers, I'd say.

00:24:13.060 So, there are homeowners along that shoreline who legitimately own their land, their lot line goes, in some instances, I think, up to 20 feet into the water.

00:24:23.780 And now, they were having issues with pedestrians strolling their shorelines.

00:24:30.680 And so, the town actually had a dispute with these homeowners.

00:24:34.460 And again, I think it was 2007, where the town won that these homeowners couldn't fence off their property lines that go out into the water

00:24:42.660 and couldn't have signage that discriminates against the pedestrians trying to access the shoreline.

00:24:47.580 So, the town knows, they must know, that there is a precedence here that people have the legal right to access shorelines.

00:24:59.460 I mean, there's a lot of safety concerns if people, you know, something happens, you're on a sea dew out in the lake there,

00:25:04.440 which you're allowed, as long as you own a sea dew or you have a boat or a kayak, absolutely, that space is free reign.

00:25:10.740 And if there's ever an incident where you need to get to shore quickly, well, you need to be able to access that shoreline,

00:25:16.320 which has now been completely fenced off.

00:25:18.840 So, it's a bit of a safety concern as well.

00:25:21.140 And then, as you saw when we were there, the seagulls have taken over.

00:25:25.280 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:25:25.680 So, now, it's also not clean.

00:25:27.860 There's the hygiene of that waterfront now.

00:25:31.980 I mean, how much is that going to cost to clean up?

00:25:34.440 Yeah, it's really something.

00:25:35.460 And, you know, before we wrap, Tamara, we should make mention, I mean, the way we originally got in touch,

00:25:40.460 it was a Fight the Fines case, it was you and your friend strolling on the Colbert Beach,

00:25:45.220 you were arrested, you were handcuffed, you were put in a police cruiser.

00:25:49.860 I was held in a jail cell.

00:25:51.200 Into a jail cell for almost two hours, I believe.

00:25:53.360 Yeah, that's right.

00:25:54.000 And, you know, we are going to fight those fines for you, you know,

00:25:58.200 and I guess there's no update, that hasn't been heard, of course.

00:26:00.820 Not yet.

00:26:01.180 You know, but we've got our eye on that.

00:26:03.860 You know, and isn't that something, folks?

00:26:05.200 I mean, you know, you might recall last Sunday at Cherry Beach in Toronto,

00:26:11.840 you had those two lunatics with chainsaws descending on the beach, 0.90

00:26:18.220 lunging at pedestrians, going after cyclists, sawing apart $4,000 of DJ equipment. 0.51

00:26:23.920 And what was notable was that both individuals have a long criminal record,

00:26:29.560 which begs the question, why aren't they in jail right now?

00:26:33.040 I wonder, is it because of the social distancing laws, you know, freeing violent offenders?

00:26:39.440 But Tamara Ugolini, holy mackerel, calling all cars. 1.00

00:26:43.760 She's strolling on the beaches of Colbert.

00:26:47.100 What a world, what a world.

00:26:48.720 Tamara, thank you so much for joining me.

00:26:50.540 And keep it here, folks.

00:26:52.080 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:26:59.160 Hi, sir.

00:26:59.740 Do you know where Patrick Brown might be?

00:27:01.520 Yeah, he hasn't showed up yet.

00:27:02.960 Oh, okay.

00:27:03.580 He does play here, though, right?

00:27:04.820 He does.

00:27:05.520 Oh, okay.

00:27:06.220 Then that confirms it.

00:27:07.680 The operator of the building?

00:27:09.100 Oh, yeah.

00:27:09.680 Yeah.

00:27:10.760 We can't have people just randomly coming in here.

00:27:13.340 Oh, why is that?

00:27:14.100 I see a whole bunch of hockey players playing a game, sir.

00:27:16.420 He confronted the ice.

00:27:17.860 Well, folks, we're getting the bums rush.

00:27:20.840 But holy mackerel, I think I see Patrick Brown himself.

00:27:25.700 Oh, hey, how you doing?

00:27:27.100 Good.

00:27:28.260 Mr. Brown, right?

00:27:29.540 Yeah.

00:27:30.440 David Menzies with Rebel News.

00:27:32.620 You're in a city facility?

00:27:33.940 What's that?

00:27:34.420 You're in a city facility?

00:27:35.440 Yeah, so are you.

00:27:36.600 Yeah.

00:27:37.400 So are you playing hockey here?

00:27:39.760 No, I'm just coming to check in on our facility.

00:27:42.040 So I'm going to check.

00:27:43.660 You're not supposed to be here, actually.

00:27:45.220 Okay.

00:27:45.320 We were told that you play pick-up here.

00:27:49.920 Mr. Brown, how come the kids in Brampton can only practice sports, but your buddies can play hockey?

00:27:57.040 Yeah.

00:27:57.180 So I don't know why you are harassing people in the city of Brampton, but you shouldn't be.

00:28:04.820 Oh, who's harassing whom?

00:28:07.060 Your guy handed out 122 bylaw violations in one week.

00:28:13.880 Mr. Brown, why is there a hockey game going on in this arena?

00:28:21.200 I thought you're only allowed to practice sports, not play them.

00:28:26.200 And who is paying the $1,000 a day, Mr. Brown, for this rink?

00:28:33.600 Mr. Brown, are these taxpayer dollars being used for your buddies to play hockey on this rink?

00:28:39.960 Or are you paying it?

00:28:45.080 Or perhaps we'll lead Solomon.

00:28:48.820 So, Mr. Brown, why is there one law for me and one law for thee in this city?

00:28:58.540 Mr. Brown?

00:28:59.240 Mr. Brown? 1.00

00:28:59.300 And there he goes, like a scared little rat with a mouthful of cheese, Patrick, liar, liar, hockey pants on fire, brown. 1.00

00:29:11.500 And wow, to think this guy was a heartbeat away from becoming Premier of Ontario. 0.98

00:29:17.220 In any event, here's what you had to say about the mayor of Brampton who enforces the Wuhan virus social distancing fines with an iron fist, yet exempts himself from his own edicts.

00:29:31.660 Justin Blackface Trudeau writes,

00:29:34.000 What is the difference between Brown and Trudeau?

00:29:36.600 Nothing.

00:29:37.780 Ouch! 1.00

00:29:38.760 Being compared to Justin?

00:29:40.680 Ooh, that's like a slap shot right to the family jewels.

00:29:44.680 RK writes,

00:29:45.540 Are you here to play hockey?

00:29:47.200 No, I'm just coming to check out our facility.

00:29:50.740 Cuts to his name on a hockey bag.

00:29:52.720 Yeah, I know, RK.

00:29:54.100 Smoking gun evidence, right?

00:29:55.740 But, oh, not so fast.

00:29:57.620 He told the news website, The Pointer,

00:30:00.480 that hockey bag was probably one of the bags he gave away to friends who forgot to simply remove the name tag.

00:30:07.860 Just one hitch.

00:30:09.160 Why was that particular bag full of equipment?

00:30:12.000 Shouldn't the friend have been on the ice by this point?

00:30:16.620 Can you even believe this guy on anything?

00:30:18.960 Valerie J. writes,

00:30:20.940 This story is exactly the type of story the government bought and paid for media will not cover. 0.96

00:30:27.200 Thank you, Rebel and the Menzoid, for exposing their hypocrisy. 1.00

00:30:31.020 Au contraire, Valerie.

00:30:32.740 Media party members such as News Talk 1010 and the Brampton Guardian are indeed covering this story,

00:30:38.820 but they are doing so in a way that allows Patrick Brown to spew more lies about his conduct

00:30:45.560 and to make defamatory remarks about Rebel News. 1.00

00:30:50.200 Way to go, you bought and paid for jerks. 1.00

00:30:54.040 Jerry Price writes, 0.99

00:30:55.440 So police are called because the reporter has interfered in a game?

00:30:59.320 Yes, Jerry, the police were called, but I didn't interfere with any hockey game.

00:31:03.580 Alas, the practice of journalism in Canada is getting ever so closer to becoming a criminal offence

00:31:10.220 in certain jurisdictions, it would seem.

00:31:14.060 Skaofan75 writes,

00:31:15.500 That face when he got caught was priceless.

00:31:18.720 Oh yes, it was almost as good as the face he donned after getting booted from the PC Party of Ontario

00:31:25.340 back in January 2018.

00:31:28.200 Oh, and that crybaby, did he ever run away from the media on that day too?

00:31:33.580 Ian R. writes,

00:31:35.340 That was fantastic.

00:31:37.360 The mayor looked like an eight-year-old kid caught with his hand in the biscuit tin,

00:31:41.880 a mouthful of biscuits and covered in crumbs.

00:31:44.720 In fact, an eight-year-old is smart enough to know the game is up

00:31:48.260 and to not bother trying to lie his way out of trouble. 1.00

00:31:51.480 This idiot doubles down and leaves his kit bag there with his name on it. 1.00

00:31:57.180 While watching this, my family came out to see what I was laughing at. 1.00

00:32:01.460 If you watch it frame by frame, you can see the moment he realizes he's gone.

00:32:07.300 Thank you, Rebel News.

00:32:08.520 You made my day.

00:32:09.600 G'day from Australia. 1.00

00:32:10.840 Well, thank you, Ian.

00:32:12.200 And say, how about we export Patrick to Down Under?

00:32:16.180 He could still play hockey there.

00:32:18.320 Field hockey, that is.

00:32:19.740 On a girls team.

00:32:20.780 And Arctic Mongoose writes,

00:32:23.800 So, Patrick puts out a tweet addressing this unarguable story.

00:32:29.880 With less than 50 words, his tweet contains at least five blatant lies.

00:32:36.160 So, what are you saying, Mayor Brown?

00:32:38.120 I guess you are saying that CTV would be your pick for a credible news source?

00:32:43.480 LOL.

00:32:43.880 Well, good one, Arctic Mongoose.

00:32:46.060 I wonder how his defamation suit against CTV is going

00:32:49.540 regarding those allegations of sexual misconduct.

00:32:53.260 Oh, and Patrick, you might be headed back to court in the near future

00:32:57.840 on a defamation matter.

00:32:59.980 Except this time, my friend, you are going to be the defendant.

00:33:04.940 Capiche?

00:33:05.460 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:33:08.740 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:33:10.000 See you next week.

00:33:10.740 And hey, folks, never forget,

00:33:12.760 without risk, there can be no glory.

00:33:14.940 Good night.

00:33:15.400 Good night.

00:33:36.320 Good night.

00:33:37.060 Good night.

00:33:38.480 Good night.

00:33:38.720 Good night.

00:33:39.400 Good night.

00:33:39.660 Good night.

00:33:40.820 Good night.

00:33:41.760 Good night.

00:33:41.960 Good night.

00:33:43.600 Good night.
