Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Rebel News live stream on this
00:00:07.720
a Monday, July 14th, 2025. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell you a little
00:00:15.640
bit about my co-host, shall I? Folks, do you know that today is International Non-Binary
0.99
00:00:22.440
Day? And my co-host will not be celebrating that because you see, it comes down to this.
00:00:28.640
If you identify as non-binary, well, you're part of a binary. She is the she-devil with a sword.
1.00
00:00:36.340
She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is the sensational Sheila Gunn-Reed. Hey,
0.98
00:00:43.440
Sheila, how you doing? And does this Rainbow Mafia stuff ever end? No, it has invaded the entire
1.00
00:00:52.160
summer. And even beyond that, it is so exhausting. I just want to be able to go into the drugstore
00:00:59.640
without like the flag on this door and everybody's welcome as if the gays are like, I can't go in
1.00
00:01:05.780
here. There's no signs that say we're allowed. Like it's the dumbest thing. But I'm really glad
00:01:11.000
that you went with in the National Non-Binary Day stuff because our other options are, and it's
0.84
00:01:19.620
International Non-Binary People's Day, by the way. It's also National Nude Day. And you and I did go on
0.99
00:01:30.500
a story one time that involved nudists, and I just wanted to jump out of my skin the entire time.
00:01:38.300
But at the end of it all, I ended up having a very vigorous discussion about government overreach
00:01:46.640
with an entirely naked man. And, you know, if you just stop and talk to people, you can find things
00:01:53.460
in common. And that was the thing that I learned that day. You know, it was a year ago this month,
00:01:59.800
Sheila. And by the way, just for clarity, when you refer to an entirely naked man,
00:02:04.960
it wasn't you referring to me, of course. No, no. No, but folks, it's true. We went to the Bear Oats
00:02:14.700
nudist resort, I think it is just north of Toronto. And it had something to do with some,
00:02:20.780
was it a naked bowling event or something like that? Yeah, it was naked bowling. I think it was
00:02:27.040
naked swimming too. And I was like, good Lord. And Sheila took one for the team. We rang the bell,
00:02:34.600
fully expecting the de rigueur response of the police being called. But no, the operator and his
00:02:41.060
assistant that came walking along, completely nude. And Sheila at first, you see that little,
0.87
00:02:48.960
you know, gatekeeping station, she went behind there and she was doubled over like she was seasick.
0.96
00:02:57.280
But I was in full-blown anxiety attack. Because if anybody knows me in real life,
00:03:03.340
I am the biggest prude. Like certain things make me nauseous. And you'll scarcely see even my like
00:03:14.040
elbows in real life. I would be fine as a member of a religion that didn't require anybody like that
00:03:22.340
prevented you from like showing your elbows and ankles. I would be great. I would be fine. And so
00:03:29.180
they just sauntered up. And I remember going to you, David. Oh, my God, there's people coming. And I was
00:03:36.620
just like, Oh, what do I do? Where do I go? Where do I look? Luckily, he had this amazing mustache that
00:03:42.700
I found quite captivating. And so it just drew my eye, obviously upward, because otherwise, I would just
00:03:49.240
be staring directly at the sun, hoping for eye damage. And you know what, that's no judgment on their physiques.
00:04:00.640
I'll give props when I see them. That mustache was right up there with the all time greats. And I'm
00:04:07.000
thinking of Lanny McDonald. Lanny McDonald. Yeah. You know, the previous shot, Sheila, I couldn't help
00:04:13.380
but notice with the gate, the arm across the street, blocking out the private parts, like that's right
00:04:23.300
out of Benny Hill. Visual optical delusion, shall we call it. But we have blurred it. Maybe we should
00:04:34.280
have done a better job of blurring it now that I could be a fig leaf, you know, it was fine. But
00:04:39.400
these are the adventures that we've been on in the last 10 years for me here at Rebel News. And
00:04:46.340
here's to maybe 10 more, although maybe with a little less nudity. That's why I want to invite
00:04:52.900
everybody at home watching before we get into what we're doing here at Rebel News to join us for our
00:04:58.780
birthday party because we have survived 10 years. Actually, our 10th birthday was back in February,
00:05:04.140
but we were in the throes of the liberal leadership campaign. And then we went directly into electioneering
00:05:11.140
mode. And so we couldn't stop to celebrate not us, but all of you who helped us achieve this
00:05:17.920
milestone because without you at home, there is no Rebel News. But now things have slowed down. We'd like to
00:05:24.040
invite you to our birthday party. You can go to happybirthdayrebel.com. Sorry, Olivia, I know I'm doing this
00:05:30.100
out of order. So the graphic might not be right. If you go to happybirthdayrebel.com, you can learn all about
00:05:38.240
our upcoming 10th birthday party, which is belated. So you can get your tickets at happybirthdayrebel.com.
00:05:45.120
Olivia, can you pop that page up, please? So that everybody can see. There we are. We're having fun.
00:05:53.200
I need a new headshot. I don't know why I never look like myself. But this is all of us. We're
00:06:00.180
celebrating our 10th birthday. We're doing it in Calgary. I believe it's September 12th, I believe.
00:06:08.240
Sorry, September 18th. Thursday, September 18th at 6 p.m. It's at the Carriage House Hotel and
00:06:13.720
Conference Center. We love those guys. Live music, drinks, snacks, meet and greet, photos with your
00:06:20.380
favorite journalists, which should be all of us. You shouldn't pick favorites. Join us in Calgary for
00:06:25.640
a milestone celebration marking 10 incredible years of fearless journalism, unapologetic truth-telling,
00:06:32.860
and setting up for freedom. And I love this line because it's not just a party. It's a celebration of
00:06:37.420
what we've built together. It is true. David, they've predicted the end of Rebel News, I don't
00:06:43.160
know, endless amounts of times. Like every time we get into like a little bit of, I don't want to
00:06:49.820
say trouble. Every time we get a little rambunctious or run up against government censorship or get
00:06:55.940
involved in some controversy, which seems to be part of what we do around here. Somebody in the
00:07:02.120
government subsidized media says this is it for them. This is, they'll never recover from this or
00:07:07.380
whatever. And it's like, we're still here and I'm watching just another round of mainstream media layoffs
00:07:14.520
coupled with bailouts over and over again. And the only way that we've survived this long is thanks to
00:07:21.640
our viewers at home who believe in our mission and who support the work that we do of telling the
00:07:27.320
other side of the story and telling the stories the mainstream media doesn't want told at all.
00:07:33.260
They don't even want to talk to normal people. That's my favorite thing that I do. So yeah,
00:07:38.540
you can get your tickets at happybirthdayrebel.com and David, you'll be there too.
00:07:46.160
But I couldn't be happier. I love the people out in wild rose country. And to heap on your critique
00:07:57.980
of the legacy media, Sheila, let's not forget the other tangible reasons why they need government
00:08:06.580
bailouts. And that is viewers, listeners and readers are shrinking year over year. Advertisers
00:08:13.540
are going the way of the dinosaur. The advertisers that remain, they're paying a fraction of what
00:08:19.800
they used to say like 20 years ago. And you know, it's it's kind of sad because why not maybe have a
00:08:29.360
business model where you give people what they want, instead of just running out to Ottawa and saying
00:08:37.140
we need welfare. So yeah, that's, this is why we're here. If you know, Sheila, you thanked our
00:08:44.820
audience. If they didn't want us or didn't like us or didn't support us, we're not here. Simple as that.
00:08:51.680
Right, because we won't do the alternative, which is take money from the government to produce content
00:08:56.200
nobody wants. And then, you know, then there's the, there's the, I guess it would be the unintended
00:09:02.880
consequences for the mainstream media, but I don't want to say unforeseen consequences, because
00:09:07.600
anybody with any sort of business sense could have seen this coming. But if you are in the mainstream
00:09:12.740
media, you don't have a ton of that. When they shook down Meta for money, then Meta said,
00:09:23.040
okay, well, you can't, you can't have Canadian news on our platform that caused their viewership
00:09:31.820
numbers and their reach to shrink off. They, the mainstream media, which drove down advertising,
00:09:38.500
because when you, why would you advertise with somebody who has no reach, right? And so they
00:09:44.340
thought, oh, we'll shake down Meta for a bunch of money and make Meta pay every time somebody who reads
00:09:51.140
our content, shares our content, which is free sharing for the news companies. They thought
00:09:59.080
they would shake down Meta for some reason. And then it drove away their advertising, which I mean,
00:10:05.460
anybody, anybody could have seen that coming except the mainstream media who refused to rejig
00:10:10.640
their business model. But that's not us. And we live on a decade now. Thanks to our viewers at
00:10:18.240
home now. I should just to get the show back on track. Anyways, that's happybirthdayrebel.com.
00:10:22.700
We'd love to see you there. But to get the show back on track, more on not taking money from Mark
00:10:30.520
Carney or any level of government to do the work that we do. One of the reasons we democratize the
00:10:37.900
show, this show right now, Rebel Roundup, our daily news and opinion show, is to allow you to help
00:10:44.480
support us, but also give you back something in return. And that is let you have your say.
00:10:49.020
So if you are watching us on Rumble, we appreciate you for sticking it out on the great free speech
00:10:53.760
platform. You can leave a Rumble rant. That's how you can have your say. It's the paid chat. So you
00:11:00.580
get to have your say and you get to support us. So give something, get something. So for the $5 US
00:11:05.980
cutoff, it's obligatory that we read it on air. If it's under that, we'll do our best to get to it.
00:11:10.100
Time permitting. I don't know what the studio constraints are today, so I can't make any
00:11:13.960
commitments that way. But if you are watching us on YouTube, where we remain mysteriously,
00:11:20.820
just so mysteriously re-monetized over there. I am in my soul convinced that it is some sort of
00:11:27.100
glitch in the system that they haven't fixed yet. But we are re-monetized over there. So if you want
00:11:32.160
to leave us a super chat, that's their paid chat. Same rules apply as Rumble. And there's an additional
00:11:38.960
way you can help us if you are unable to watch the live version of the live stream. So you're
00:11:45.580
watching the recorded version of it. You can leave a super thanks. That's the paid chat. And
00:11:50.680
we appreciate you because every little bit helps. We know that there is less money in your pocket
00:11:55.420
than ever before. These carny liberals are finding new and creative ways to make sure you have less
0.90
00:11:59.940
money and they have more of it. So we appreciate that you choose us. So I think those are all the
00:12:06.860
loose ends until we hit an ad break. And then we'll have a quick little message about an upcoming
00:12:11.660
event that I think people need to know about. But let's talk about Canada's worst friend.
00:12:17.820
Yes. Well, you know, I mentioned Lanny McDonald in comparison to your favorite nudist. And by the way,
00:12:24.700
if I can go on a tangerine here, could that be one of the top 10 worst trades in leaf history? We got
00:12:30.660
rid of Lanny McDonald for Wilf Paymont from the Colorado Rockies. By the way, there is a trivia
00:12:38.240
question answer here. The only other player aside from Wayne Gretzky to wear 99, Wilf Paymont,
00:12:44.860
because the leak has permanently retired that. Anyways, that's my tidbit hockey trivia for the day.
00:12:50.400
But in terms of bad trivia, or someone who's maybe trivial these days, Sheila, our good friend,
00:12:59.040
Joe Warmington, the scrawler. No, he's not the trivial one. But his story is about Ron McClain,
00:13:05.800
who when I look at the comment section, the number of times some kind of rodent is mentioned in regard
00:13:14.760
to Ron McClain, a rat, a weasel, the list goes on. He came out with a cockamamie, crazy story that
00:13:26.600
Don Cherry, who is beloved by millions. And that's not an exaggeration, millions. I wonder how many
00:13:35.440
people love Ron McClain, 13 or 14. Anyways, he said, Sheila, as you know, that he orchestrated
00:13:43.580
that whole poppy gate. And you know, and I mean, really calling that a scandal along the lines of
0.97
00:13:51.020
Watergate. It was only a scandal for the people, like the CBC losers who whipped it up and the
00:13:58.360
extreme left. So Ron McClain would have us believe that Don Cherry orchestrated his own removal from
00:14:08.780
TV by saying uncontroversial things that he has said his entire career. That's Ron McClain's
00:14:17.360
conspiracy created by Don Cherry. That man is an absolute Judas, the worst friend in Canada.
00:14:27.700
And instead of keeping his mouth shut, he keeps putting theories about Don Cherry into the ethos.
00:14:37.220
Um, and in the public discourse that just are not true and are so easily debunked that you just go,
00:14:44.700
Hey, Don, is that true? And Don goes, you know,
00:14:47.160
Yeah. And, and his wife is now saying that Ron McClain is forever not welcome at their household.
00:14:55.540
Yeah. And he shouldn't even be allowed to walk down the street in Don Cherry's neighborhood
00:15:00.780
without being hissed and booed. Oh, I agree, Sheila, but he went, um, further than what you just said.
00:15:08.080
You know, this whole conspiracy of Don Cherry orchestrating some kind of pseudo scandal to get
00:15:15.060
him fired. We all know Don Cherry isn't like that. Don Cherry means what he says. And he says what he
00:15:20.020
means. If Don Cherry was sick and tired of coach's corner, he would have done a farewell show and it would
00:15:26.180
be a proper show and it'd be saying goodbye to his, you know, favorite interviewees, uh, over the
00:15:32.180
years. But then Ron McClain went on to this, um, you know, sidebar that he was feeling sick and he
00:15:40.640
checked himself into a Boston hospital. Wait a minute. You're, you're now talking about somebody's
00:15:47.180
medical issues. And Don Cherry, in his interview with, um, Joe Warmington, he said, I never went to
00:15:54.640
a hospital. I was feeling, I wasn't feeling great. I went to my hotel room. And by the way, Sheila,
00:16:01.660
if we took a poll, whose side of the story do you believe? Ron McClain, Don Cherry, how is that
00:16:08.280
going to skew when the results are tabulated? Ron McClain is one of the worst individuals in the
00:16:16.040
entire Canadian media landscape. And I think in all of sports broadcasting and, and that's,
00:16:23.100
that's saying something considering how infested, uh, sports broadcasting is with far left-wing crazy
00:16:31.060
people, um, and weird radical feminists. Uh, he is just a terrible individual. And at this point,
00:16:39.360
I think a pathological liar, like why would you lie about something so easily checked out,
00:16:47.420
except you exist in a bubble where you think that people trust you, but they don't trust John,
00:16:55.500
Don Cherry. And Sheila, uh, uh, super producer, Olivia, uh, tells me that we have a clip of Don Cherry
00:17:02.920
in his own words, refuting the garbage that Ron McClain is spewing. This was filmed, uh, by Mr.
00:17:10.640
Warmington a few days ago. So, uh, for those who desperately miss Coach's Corner, I can't believe
00:17:16.740
it's been off the air for six years now. Unbelievable. And you know what, just more over to your point
00:17:22.520
before we roll this, uh, Don did his like big farewell the other day. And so we know that he would
00:17:28.640
have done a farewell on Coach's Corner if he wanted to retire because he was doing his podcast and he
00:17:33.640
said, you know, I'm not going to do that anymore. Here's my big farewell. So why wouldn't he have
00:17:38.600
done that on Coach's Corner? And I think now Ron opened his big lying yap, uh, because he thought,
00:17:45.860
oh, Don's retiring. He's not going to say anything, but, but, uh, I guess Don doesn't suffer fools and
00:17:54.480
liars kindly. So anyway, let's listen. You'd like the records set straight on the story. I'm very
00:18:01.720
disappointed in Ron that he would bring this up. Uh, and I'm very disappointed in him that he would
00:18:11.360
reach back five years and, uh, do this. Is he still welcome here to call you and your friend or is
00:18:22.440
this friendship? No, no, no. The wife isn't. And how do you feel about it? I, I, I don't have any
00:18:31.380
feelings. I, I, I, I don't have any feelings towards Ron. This is your wingman for almost whatever it
00:18:42.260
was, almost 40 years. 40 years. Almost 40 years. And there's a sense of kind of almost like a betrayal
00:18:49.800
a bit. Yeah. Well, I don't know about that, but I know one thing I'm disappointed in him. Have you
00:18:57.140
talked to him? No. And do you want to talk to him about it, or? No, I don't want to talk to him about it.
00:19:04.360
These stories that are being written about you now, did anybody contact you? No. What do you think of that?
00:19:10.080
You, you, you think the only guy to contact me is you. It's just basic. Nobody, I, I was really surprised
00:19:24.280
when I, when I, when I, when Lubick give me that story.
00:19:29.420
What a shame. And you know what, what a class act to Sheila. He could dump all kinds of expletives
1.00
00:19:38.740
on Ron McLean, but clearly he just wants to move on. Two things. Let us never forget that as much as
00:19:48.700
Ron McLean was supposedly offended because the very next Saturday in what was to be coach's corner,
00:19:56.220
which was just Ron McLean doing a groveling apology, talking about how inappropriate it is.
00:20:02.540
You go back to that final coach's corner, Sheila, and you'll see Ron nodding all the time,
00:20:08.780
putting his thumbs up at the end. CBC at the time never thought anything of it because they
00:20:14.600
rebroadcast it on their Western affiliates later on. So, you know, really it's like all the lefty
00:20:24.420
coots that came out with why this was offensive. They bought into that instead of making a stance.
00:20:31.400
And secondly, here's my question for you, Sheila. What in blue hell is Ron McLean's unspoken strategy
00:20:38.160
to, to do this? Was he drunk when he gave that sports writer an interview? Does, does,
00:20:45.840
is he desperate to get back into the limelight? I mean, I've got nothing here.
00:20:51.480
This is a guy who's gunning for the order of Canada, Ron McLean or, uh, a Senate, uh, a Senate
00:21:01.020
selection. Uh, he's been a vocal supporter of pride tape. Remember that the rainbow colored hockey
00:21:07.580
tape used to promote inclusion and LGBTQ rights within the sports, within sports, whatever that
00:21:15.000
means. Um, I, he wrote a weird op-ed. I, I forget who he did it for on the diversity of the hockey
00:21:23.400
community. So, I mean, he, he, he knows, right. Um, this is when they banned the tape saying, uh,
00:21:33.020
we don't want any politics on the ice. Uh, he wrote an op-ed complaining about it. Yeah. Um, because,
00:21:40.600
uh, they told us initially, we're not supposed to care if players are gay or not or whatever.
00:21:46.440
And we're all like, yeah, perfect. Sounds good. Great deal. And then now it's like, no, no, no,
00:21:51.200
you need to care. And you, we need to visibly identify them and their allies, which seems the
00:21:58.040
opposite of like playing on a team, right? Where everybody is just, you're wearing one uniform.
00:22:03.820
Um, but yeah, this, he's, I think he would love to be in the order of Canada before Don Cherry is,
00:22:11.860
but Don Cherry said something there that I thought good for you, Don, because, uh,
00:22:18.980
the opposite of love is not hate. The opposite of love is indifference. It's actually nothing.
00:22:26.780
Right. And Don said, I don't feel anything for Ron McLean. And I thought, you know what? Good for
00:22:37.200
you. Because if you hated him, he would know that he was getting to you, that you actually gave a rip
00:22:44.500
about what he thought about you or his stupid comments about you. But to say that you feel
00:22:49.240
nothing, oh, that's a knife at Ron. Good for him. You know, Sheila, you're so right. And I'll expand
00:22:57.120
your analysis to what poses for, you know, between period, uh, intermission broadcasting these days
00:23:07.220
in hockey. And I, I hardly watch any of it. Um, uh, it's, it's really, you know, what they did
00:23:14.500
to Don Cherry made me move away from hockey and more into NFL football, to be quite frank. I never
00:23:20.900
thought I would say that, but when I do tune in these it between period interviews, you know,
00:23:27.220
in this business, I say, be bad, be good, be so bad. You're good. But the cardinal sin is boring.
00:23:36.380
Do not be boring. And I see these talking heads. They're not emotional. They don't want to take any
00:23:43.700
risks. They can't say what they really want to say. And you've got boring padlam between periods.
00:23:51.560
Contrast that with Coach's Corner, which was the highest rated eight minutes of Canadian television
00:23:58.980
every single week. I thought the business, Sheila, was all about getting eyeballs. But I guess
00:24:04.340
if you're not woke in the, uh, Looney Tune left ballpark, uh, you are canceled and to hell with the
0.87
00:24:13.040
bottom line. What a disgrace. You know, we've got, uh, some comments from Bobby Orr. I don't know if
00:24:20.740
you saw these. He wrote a letter to the editor in the Toronto Sun today. Let's go through those.
00:24:26.080
The, I see it's a hockeyfeed.com says Bobby Orr buries Ron McClain over recent Don Cherry comments.
00:24:33.840
Uh, so, uh, do we have the, oh, wrote letters to the editor. Okay. So I just pulled up letters to the
00:24:45.420
editor on from Bobby Orr. He says, suggesting Don Cherry used encouraging people to wear poppies on
00:24:54.160
Remembrance Day as an exit strategy from Coach's Corner revealing he had pneumonia in 2019 and that
00:25:00.660
he doesn't have many friends. I have only one thing to say to you, Ron McClain, shame on you.
00:25:08.360
Uh, sign Bobby Orr, one of grapes, millions of friends and fans.
00:25:14.340
Oh yeah. And that's no exaggeration. And you know what the perverse irony here is, Sheila?
00:25:18.800
If Ron McClain had done the right thing, if Ron McClain had said to the people at Sportsnet and CBC
00:25:26.000
and Rogers, uh, listen, you get rid of Don, uh, it's a package deal. I'm going to because Don twice
00:25:34.460
put his career on the line for Ron McClain. I do believe the legacy of Ron McClain, he would be
00:25:43.080
right up there with Don Cherry. So what did he do? He opted for the paycheck and, uh, he sold his legacy
00:25:51.360
and it went down the sewer. When these two men are gone, millions will remember so fondly Don Cherry
00:26:00.640
and nobody will give a rodent's rectum about Ron McClain or they'll just talk about, I know we're
00:26:06.660
not supposed to speak ill of the dead. Uh, I think a few will, if you know what I'm saying. So I wonder
00:26:13.380
if Ron McClain, especially after this recent, uh, brouhaha has some buyer's remorse here. And by the way,
00:26:20.980
getting into somebody's medical history, saying somebody stayed at a hospital when they didn't
00:26:26.160
stay at a hospital, isn't that completely inappropriate, Sheila? Shouldn't now Ron McClain
0.92
00:26:33.240
live by the sword, die by the sword. You did something inappropriate. You talked about, uh,
00:26:38.900
an ex-employee's medical history. I wonder is Sportnet going to, um, you know, tailor make a pink
00:26:46.060
slip for Ron McClain. Are we going to see him back next season? Of course we are. Of course we
00:26:51.420
are. Because sports broadcasting is infested with weirdos. Um, for some reason, the same people who
00:26:58.440
complain about toxic masculinity are lecturing you about sports primarily played by very masculine
00:27:04.040
men. Um, but in a world, let, let us be, let the takeaway in all of this be in a world of Ron
00:27:11.280
McClain's be a friend like Bobby Orr. Bobby Orr did not have to say a word. He's one of the most
00:27:16.780
respected people in all of sports, not just hockey, all of sports. And he stood up for his friend. He
00:27:23.300
could have remained silent, uh, but he came out swinging for his friend and, uh, be that kind of
00:27:30.240
friend in a world of fickle Ron McClain's willing to step on the corpses of their former friends to, uh,
00:27:38.580
climb up the social ladder, uh, be a Bobby Orr. When you see somebody doing something wrong,
00:27:44.760
do the right thing. And she'll, I can't reveal the source on this, but I also understand
00:27:49.380
Wayne Gretzky is furious over this as well. I believe it. I believe it. So who do you,
00:27:54.300
whose camp do you want to be in? Don Cherry, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, or team Ron the Rat McClain?
00:28:01.080
Unbelievable. They should wrap some of that rainbow tape around his mouth next time he tries to open
1.00
00:28:06.740
his yap about Don Cherry. At least it'll be useful then. Hey, we should hit an ad break and then we'll
00:28:13.460
come back and talk about, uh, the long list of Mark Carney's, uh, conflicts of interest. Feels like
00:28:20.100
something we should have known about during the election. Uh, but let's, that ad break, we'll come
00:28:24.940
right back. Gun bands make great distraction. Trudeau may be gone, but Carney has picked up his
00:28:30.400
insane rhetoric. We will quickly, and I mean quickly, reinvigorate the buyback of assault-style
00:28:36.480
firearms. Hunters, collectors, competitors, and defenders of tradition are still being targeted
00:28:50.000
But we are fighting back. By delaying and dismantling unjust legislation, by confronting policy at its
00:29:01.600
source, like on the global stage at the United Nations, through our unmatched record of political
00:29:07.800
lobbying, and our Save Firearms program. Actively saving firearms from government crushers in real
00:29:16.480
time. And we're not done yet. Join us. Canada's National Firearms Association in defense of freedom.
00:29:26.480
Canadians know the national anthem. They stand in silence to remember those who died for this country.
00:29:33.040
But not every Canadian knows their rights and freedoms. The Freedom Passport will change that.
00:29:39.040
It looks and feels like a Canadian passport, but contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
00:29:45.600
in a portable, easy-to-read format. The Freedom Passport. Order one for yourself and for all the freedom
00:30:00.080
And Sheila, as you teased before the break, Carney to recuse himself from dealings with over
00:30:06.640
100 companies in sprawling government conflicts. You know, Sheila,
00:30:11.840
does Mark Carney want to make a decision? Does he want to be the Prime Minister and govern Canada? Or is he
00:30:20.480
more beholden to Brookfield Acid Management? I don't see a way out here. I don't see how he can serve as
00:30:30.800
Prime Minister with all these companies which obviously have tentacles into government business. I just don't.
00:30:39.840
It's Brookfield, so it literally touches everything. So this is from the CBC that I'm reading.
00:30:50.480
These are the ones that he had before he threw them into a blind trust. And so, but that is to say
00:30:57.840
that he obviously knows about them, right? Like, it's not like he put them in a blind trust and then
00:31:03.680
was stricken with amnesia. Like, he knows what they are. Like, it's so dumb. So he knows what decisions
00:31:10.720
the government can make, i.e. modular housing, that would affect Brookfield's stock price. Like,
00:31:18.240
it's idiotic. It's not like he put his assets in a blind trust and then someone hit him on the head
00:31:24.880
with a hammer and he's like, where am I? What did I own? It's not like that at all. So, and we're
00:31:31.040
supposed to applaud Carney because he was supposed to tell us what these, like, declare his conflicts
00:31:39.680
of interest 120 days after being Prime Minister. But boy, it sure would have been nice for people
00:31:46.720
during the election to know that the promises he was making, i.e. modular housing, would directly
00:31:52.720
affect the stocks that he held. But they never did. Oh, Sheila Gunn-Reed, look inside yourself.
00:32:00.720
Look inside yourself. Rosie, look inside yourself. So, according to the filing,
00:32:07.600
Carney held assets in Brookfield Asset Management, no surprise there, Stripe. He previously sat on the
00:32:12.640
board of directors with both companies. Carney had 6.8 million U.S. worth of unexercised stock options
00:32:25.360
as of January 31st, held assets in two advisory firms, two environmental companies, have a self-administered
00:32:34.560
RRSP and a wide variety of shares in an investment fund managed by a third party.
00:32:40.160
The only thing he kept out of a blind trust is some cash, a cottage and the family home.
00:32:47.280
Uh, it also lists a number of gifts Carney has received since taking office that the
00:32:51.680
Prime Minister is required to disclose. Included in the list are gifts of two hockey jerseys
00:32:57.440
from the Edmonton Oilers and the other one is a Washington Capitals jersey that he was gifted
00:33:03.120
by Donald Trump, some alcohol from Macron, an engraved bull from Keir Starmer. Uh,
00:33:11.200
I don't know. This is also, and from what I understand, the majority of the assets he holds
00:33:18.240
are American. Because even Mark Carney knows that elbows up, falls flat on its face when you look at
00:33:25.440
the returns. Um, because this is not an investment friendly country. And that is due in no small part
00:33:35.680
to Mark Carney being the guy whispering in Justin Trudeau's ear for five years.
00:33:40.640
A hundred percent. And you know, Sheila, I can't believe how Carney and the Liberal Party was able
00:33:46.640
to recover from, uh, really one of the earliest scandals in the last federal election. And that
00:33:53.680
was Mark Carney lying about Brookfield. So in this, I'm trying to remember the chronology. This is going
00:34:00.640
back to January saying he's no longer chair of Brookfield. This was in regard to Brookfield
00:34:07.120
Acid Management moving its headquarters from Toronto to New York City. But whoa, he was too clever.
00:34:14.880
Elbows up. Elbows up. Elbows up when you're carrying those boxes, so you don't hurt your back when
00:34:20.320
you're moving to the United States. Yep. But, um, what was conveniently absent in that explanation
00:34:28.960
is that the decision was made in October, October 31st. Happy Halloween. How do you like those apples?
00:34:36.720
Uh, and Carney was the chair. So this business of elbows up, wrapping himself in the flag,
00:34:43.200
I'm going to be Captain Canuck, uh, saving Canadian jobs. Well, he spoke volumes, you know,
00:34:50.560
less than three months before that January lie in terms of moving the headquarters of a company
00:34:57.760
that is responsible for almost $1 trillion in assets. Yeah. What 97 or sorry, 91% of Carney's portfolio
00:35:06.400
is U.S. based. Um, we also know that that whole elbows up strategy, which is now elbows down, elbows
00:35:13.440
up, elbows down as, um, my MP Garnet Jenis calls, it's the chicken dance of foreign policies constantly.
00:35:23.680
Uh, but we know that that entire thing was based around Privy Council polling
00:35:31.760
of Canadians impressions of the incoming American president. And they were worried about, um,
00:35:40.080
what Donald Trump would do as part of his America first strategy. And that was then, so Canadians paid
00:35:48.480
for that polling data. It should have been stayed nonpartisan in government's hands. Instead, it was
00:35:54.960
given to political operatives within the liberal party and then used, uh, to craft a campaign strategy
00:36:03.440
that helps the liberals win the next election. In another, in another more grownup country,
00:36:09.600
that would be absolutely illegal. Um, because the liberals, uh, the liberals were the only ones with
00:36:17.200
access to it, even though it was paid for as, uh, as part of Privy Council polling. Uh, the conservatives
00:36:23.120
never had access to that polling data. Uh, it was used for partisan reasons and then
00:36:28.000
normally people would go to jail in other countries, but this is Canada and you can do whatever you
00:36:31.680
want as long as you're part of the natural governing party of this country. Um, but yeah,
00:36:36.560
so that's why you see the insincerity of the elbows up strategy. Um, and Carney never actually felt that
00:36:45.680
way when it comes to his own multimillion dollars worth of investments. Um, the elbows up strategy
00:36:52.800
is for you so that you maybe don't go to, uh, you know, to Las Vegas on your bachelorette or to Nashville
00:37:02.400
on your bachelor party because you've been told by the TV to travel in Canada. It's
00:37:07.520
I see Mr. We better travel in Canada. Don't go, don't go places. He was at Wimbledon. So
00:37:15.200
did you see that new last week? We speculated like where did Mark, where did Mark Carney go on his
00:37:21.200
summer vacation? Um, because he's been telling Canadians to travel within Canada and Canada,
00:37:28.400
like spend your money in Canada. Well, where is he? Wimbledon. Yeah. And by the way, Sheila, um,
00:37:34.880
and I'm speaking as someone who just came back last week from California, if there's any reason
00:37:41.120
why Canadians aren't traveling to the U.S. in any kind of, uh, critical mass, then killing you
00:37:49.360
take a dollar right now. It is, it's almost like 40%, I believe it is crippling. So please,
00:37:57.920
can we, you know, park that patriotism? I'm staying in Canada to, you know, whatever,
00:38:04.480
give Donald Trump the finger. No, no, no. You're staying in Canada because you're too poor
00:38:08.960
to pay for a vacation in U.S. dollars. And, uh, right. So, uh, now, by the way,
00:38:15.360
you mentioned polling, why don't we switch gears? Uh, and, uh, I know our beloved bossman,
00:38:20.640
Ezra Levant has some thoughts about that. Oh, I saw this when it came in on Saturday morning
00:38:26.800
and I saw this and I was like, how did they even find people to poll on this stuff?
00:38:30.400
Like, who knows who the Beaverton is? I ran around my household and I was like, do you know what the
00:38:36.960
Beaverton is? My mother-in-law's like, no. Like, do you guys know what the Beaverton is? No. My kids
00:38:41.280
who are like on the internet, they're like very in the internet. No, no clue what the Beaverton is.
00:38:48.320
And I was like, so how did they even find people to poll on this? But anyways, uh,
00:38:53.680
uh, Polara strategic insights, uh, Polara's annual trust in media study shows how much liberal and
00:39:04.880
conservative voters trust different news outlets. And then if you drill down, uh, they said,
00:39:14.160
I forget what it is. It was that the Beaverton was more trusted than rebel media. Well,
00:39:23.120
we haven't been a rebel media in five, six years, maybe. Um, so Ezra was like, yeah. So it's like,
00:39:30.880
who, who are you talking to? Cause a lot of people who came to us during the pandemic don't know us as
00:39:36.400
the prior name at all. Right. So they're probably like, what, what's that? So, um, Canada's most trusted
00:39:44.240
media outlets are the weather network, CBC, CTV, and global major print chains like the Globe and Mail,
00:39:50.960
Canadian press national post Toronto star, McLean's also enjoy high trust stores. I don't remember
00:39:57.200
the last time I clicked on a McLean's link only media outlets tested with negative trust scores
00:40:04.400
are the Beaverton rebel media and Fox news. And then if you go up, uh, sorry, no, no, no,
00:40:16.960
don't go too far. Just, I want to read that top paragraph there.
00:40:23.680
TV coverage was the most common source of news in the recent federal election 50, 52% got their news
00:40:29.440
there. 73% of boomers or older are getting their election news from TV. Well, that explains something.
00:40:35.440
Uh, 26% of Gen Z voters were more likely to get election news from in, sorry, to just 26% of Gen Z
00:40:47.920
voters. So 26% of Gen Z were getting their news from TV. Gen Z voters were more likely to get election
00:40:53.920
news from Instagram. 31%. Do you guys see the lie there? You guys see the lie? You can't get news on
00:41:00.480
Instagram. Oh, I missed that. You can't get news on Instagram. That should have been your first quote
00:41:07.840
that this was baloney. And that's me being kind that this whole, so Ezra was like, ah, I must drill
00:41:15.600
down. Let's go through Ezra's thread because, uh, this was like celebrated all around left-wing
00:41:22.880
internet. So Ezra goes, a polling firm called Polar. I just published what they call a study about
00:41:27.440
trust in media, but I think it's unintentionally about trust in liberal run pollsters. Let me
00:41:33.200
explain. And I just showed you one lie, right? First about Polara. It's run by diehard liberal
00:41:40.160
activists, including Dan Arnold. Here's some of his work. He publishes at Calgary Grit as in
00:41:45.680
the Grits and the Tories. So grit being a liberal. And then Don Guy or Guy, Dalton McGinty's former
00:41:54.320
staffer. They're not actually a neutral firm. Polara has received hundreds of thousands of
00:42:02.480
dollars from Justin Trudeau and then Mark Carney to be partisan. And then Ezra puts to the Open Canada
00:42:08.720
link where you can see how much money they're getting from the federal government to tell you
00:42:14.000
that you should trust the media companies that the federal government is giving money to to say nice
00:42:18.720
things about the federal government. Okay. It is possible for left-wing activists with huge
00:42:27.440
contracts from left-wing politicians to produce reputable polls. I think Janice Brown in Alberta
0.98
00:42:33.360
is one of those. But there's something astonishing about this survey that should be embarrassing to
00:42:37.600
everyone at Polara. They tested news sources that don't exist.
00:42:45.280
Uh, they asked Canadians how they, how often they read 24 hours. So that's a, it was a print magazine or
00:42:52.720
print like a, I don't want to say newspaper, but it was like a little, almost like a pamphlet because it
00:42:57.200
was so small. And Metro. Hundreds of Canadians told Polara that they do, that they read those two,
00:43:06.080
Metro and 24 hours. Trouble is both of those news outlets shut down years ago. Polara lied to survey
00:43:12.560
takers who lied right back to that. It's so funny. How can anyone who claims to be politically
00:43:20.480
literate with a finger on the pulse of the national conversation, not know that they shut down years
00:43:25.440
ago? Here's the obituary for Metro and here it is for 24 hours. There are other things that don't
00:43:32.400
pass the sniff test. Is it really true that liberals and NDP voters love the national post
00:43:39.440
even more than conservatives do? Like, really? I don't think so. Does anyone believe that
00:43:45.760
Bloc Quebecois separatists say the New York times is their number one.
00:43:52.560
Facebook was one of the news outlets. This is the lie that I caught right away.
00:43:56.800
Right. Facebook is one of the news outlets that Polara tested. But as savvy block Quebecois
00:44:02.880
readers of the New York times would know. That's so funny. Facebook didn't publish any election news.
00:44:11.440
It blocked all Canadian news sources. Why would Polara lie like that? I do. I know why, Ezra.
00:44:19.360
It's the money. Dollar bills, y'all. Uh, I'm not sure this is just sloppiness, laziness,
00:44:26.160
or delegating to an intern or what, but it is the sloppiest poll I've ever seen. I think it's a bit
00:44:32.160
of a tip-off that these pollsters are trying to dunk on us. True. You don't often see that from
00:44:39.040
legitimate professionals. Yeah. They can say, hey, Beaverton, you're more trusted than Fox News and
00:44:45.520
rebel. And they made sure not to, to tag us because they knew we would immediately see the
00:44:52.480
problem with their poll, right? So they tagged the Beaverton who are stupid and wouldn't drill down.
00:44:58.400
And they celebrated, but actual journalists over here at rebel news were like, uh,
00:45:03.040
something real wrong here. And you should be skeptical. Uh, Polara's liberal boss has been
00:45:09.520
hired at Carleton university's Clayton riddle, master of political management program
00:45:14.880
to teach his liberal ways. These guys all look the same. That guy looks like the poutine eater from,
00:45:20.960
uh, CBC, right? What's his face? The guy who hates Ezra, um, to teach his liberal ways.
00:45:28.000
One of the worst things Preston Manning did was convince Clay to give Ottawa liberals $15 million.
00:45:35.120
Uh, imagine what that 15 million could have done in it if it had been carefully invested in promoting
00:45:40.320
Western values or respect for Alberta's oil patch. Instead, that money has been vacuumed up by
00:45:45.680
Ottawa insiders who hate everything Riddell stood for. By the way, I don't care if people call us
00:45:51.040
rebel media, but it's a giveaway that they haven't watched us since 2019 when we changed our name to
00:45:55.280
rebel news. Exactly. I'm genuinely interested in what Canadians think of us, but this Polara poll
00:46:01.280
is not legitimate. In 2023, we hired Leger, a mainstream reputable pollster to see what Canadians
0.83
00:46:09.840
really thought of us. If they thought of us at all, here are the results at rebel poll.ca.
00:46:14.880
I found them very encouraging, but what Polara did today isn't a poll. It's a sloppy pack of lies
00:46:20.400
subsidized by taxpayers. They should delete it and apologize. I'd say they should redo the poll,
00:46:25.520
but frankly, I don't think anyone should take their work seriously ever again, other than as propaganda.
00:46:31.920
Well said. Sheila, what comes to mind here is, we all know the fixes in, but in terms of the
00:46:42.720
methodology, I would love to see how they came up with some kind of house of cards to legitimize their
00:46:53.680
data. I think it goes back to 1990. It was a fantastic book I read called Tainted
00:47:01.120
Truth by Cynthia Crossan, who was then a Wall Street Journal editor and reporter. And it was essentially
00:47:08.000
that even with a scientific study, that if you turn the dial one thousandth of a degree,
00:47:15.200
you can dramatically change the outcome of that study. I just want to know that behind the scenes,
00:47:23.520
how much tinkering was going around so that Polara could come out with an outcome that was basically
00:47:32.880
predestined, that the legacy media are fantastic. And look at number one to the weather network. How much
00:47:42.000
news do you get at the weather network, Sheila? Yeah, you know what? Today's hot and humid. Well,
00:47:47.680
yeah, that's not fake news. Yeah, I opened a window. I opened a window and fact-checked them.
00:47:54.080
Like if you get, if you watch the weather network though, especially in Canada, you get a healthy
00:47:58.160
dose of, uh, your SUV is doing this to the weather instead of that big burning full of gas in the sky.
00:48:06.240
But, but Sheila, who in the right mind goes to the weather network for news? I mean,
00:48:10.080
maybe you go for the weather, but you know, I don't even know if you can call a weather report
00:48:15.920
news unless there's some natural disaster happening. And then of course, second place, uh, CBC news, uh,
00:48:22.080
you know, uh, give me a break. So that's what I'm trying to say. Um, in the spirit of tainted truth,
00:48:28.480
what was the methodology used to come up with these harebrained figures? I ain't buying it.
00:48:35.440
Ezra's not buying it. And clearly the fix was in, in terms of all these liberal connections, Sheila.
00:48:42.560
Yeah. I'm just gonna quickly share a message from our friends over at, uh, the Canada Strong and Free
00:48:49.120
network because they too much like us here at rebel news have an upcoming event in September. So, uh,
00:48:56.960
what is the West's place in Canada? For some people it's not even in Canada, but, uh, it's important
00:49:05.040
that these discussions are had, um, and they are had outside of the shut up re of the Laurentian elite.
00:49:11.840
So don't miss this year's Canada Strong and Free networking conference in Calgary on September 5th
00:49:16.880
and 6th with, with speakers such as author Tristan Hopper, Lord Conrad Black, Premier Daniel Smith,
00:49:24.320
and Preston Manning. Early bird rates are available until August 4th. Uh, these things usually sell out,
00:49:30.720
uh, so don't wait on it. Reserve your tickets today at Canada Strong and Free dot network. Um, and you can
00:49:39.360
learn more about the lineup of speakers there. And I've been saying it every time I tell you about this
00:49:45.760
conference that you must go, if only to hear from Marco Navarro Gini. If you are really
00:49:53.200
curious about someone who has thought about how do landlock nations get their products to market,
00:50:00.560
how do they do this trade deals? How do two people who were artificially forced together
00:50:06.080
peacefully say goodbye to one another? Uh, he's thought about all of those things. He's over at the
00:50:10.160
Haltain Institute and I just think he's great. Um, okay. Uh, let's get into, we don't have a ton of
00:50:16.800
time left on the day. Well, I definitely want to get to one point because you had so many great points
00:50:24.400
on the morning meeting, um, from Canada Strong and Free to how about this? Canadians big and fat.
0.60
00:50:30.480
Um, about one third of Canadians are obese and researchers saw a steeper increase during the pandemic.
00:50:40.960
Now, Sheila Gunn-Reed, why, oh, why would that be? Why would the COVID-19 virus make you obese?
00:50:49.280
It wasn't the COVID-19 virus. It was the COVID-19 virus of government control that made you obese.
00:50:56.800
Uh, I'm doing a video on this because as you know, I care deeply about my health and my fitness as a
00:51:02.320
woman who's on the downside of 45. Um, and during COVID, the dark, not during COVID, during the COVID
00:51:13.120
overreaction from the government, uh, they closed your gym. They closed the playgrounds. They told you
00:51:21.440
stay in to stay safe, order in, don't get groceries. Don't. And if you do go get groceries,
00:51:27.680
make sure you follow the lines on the floor because the black death goes counterclockwise.
0.88
00:51:35.360
Uh, they, they even closed the national park next door to me. Like, what were we going to do? We're
00:51:41.600
going to give COVID to the Buffalo. Were the Buffalo going to give it to us? Um, they did all these things
00:51:48.720
that would prevent you from actually being healthy, fresh air, sunlight, vitamin D, physical activity.
00:51:56.480
Um, and now people are less healthy than ever. And because of the overreaction, more susceptible to
00:52:04.800
diseases like COVID because what was the single greatest comorbidity, I think even greater than age,
00:52:11.840
that was a indicator of death or poor outcomes for COVID morbid. It was, it was obesity. And so,
00:52:21.920
and then the lifestyle related illnesses related to obesity. So high blood pressure, heart disease,
00:52:29.200
diabetes, that made your outcomes for COVID worse. And so instead of saying, you know what, you should
00:52:34.560
probably just put down the phone, cook a steak, go outside, get some sun on you, uh, get your 10,000
00:52:46.160
steps in. Instead of saying that to you, they kept you on a lockdown and then around the boosters.
00:52:53.360
And now everybody's worse off and kids are worse off. And so for four years of their life,
00:52:58.640
uh, especially the little ones, when they should have been learning good lifestyle habits,
00:53:04.400
they sat in front of, uh, the TV watching bluey and eating garbage. And these are habits that will
0.99
00:53:10.480
take a long, long time for them to break. And then now they're like, Oh, people got more obese
00:53:17.920
during COVID. Yeah, I know. And now it makes everything worse, everything worse. Now that
00:53:24.640
now there's an additional burden on the healthcare system because these are the most expensive
00:53:31.040
lifestyle related illnesses are all tied to obesity and insulin resistance.
00:53:36.080
And Sheila, I would go one step further, bad habits die hard. And by that, I mean, uh, COVID and
00:53:42.720
the COVID mandates are in the rear view window of like, what, three years now. And yet how many
00:53:48.960
people are still working from home? How many people are still getting on the phone and calling
00:53:55.120
DoorDash and Uber Eats to deliver their meals to their household? So COVID's left, but the, uh,
00:54:02.320
COVID incarcerated continue to live life like it's 2020. Like they're on the inside. Yeah. It's like when
00:54:09.360
you spend a lifetime in prison and then you still have a difficult time adjusting to life on the
00:54:14.000
outside. That's where we're at. Like, no, look, I did the opposite during COVID. I was like, okay,
00:54:21.280
let's really drill down on health and lifestyle. And I don't have the option of being able to pick up the
00:54:29.440
phone or open an app. And, uh, you can tell I'm old because I did this with phone instead of this with
00:54:37.120
phone. Right. Um, but I, I don't have the option of like ordering in pizza. Like no one's going to
00:54:44.720
deliver pizza to me. Right. And so I have to cook everything we eat so I can sort of control that
00:54:51.120
stuff. But I realized the rest of the world does live in urban centers and it is very easy. Now it
00:54:56.800
is more expensive, but it's very easy to have food just delivered to your house. And when the government
00:55:01.200
is saying stay in to stay safe, if you're lazy and you've never done anything good in your life,
00:55:06.240
all of a sudden Netflix and ordering in is your civic duty and you get to be a good person because
00:55:13.200
of that. And, uh, it, it now we're dealing with the fallout and this just becomes expensive.
00:55:20.000
Even if you don't care about health and, and government control and all that kind of stuff,
00:55:24.160
maybe you care about how expensive our healthcare system is going to get when one third of Canadians
00:55:29.360
are obese. And then the cascade of conditions that come along with obesity and the things that are
00:55:36.000
made worse because of obesity. If you are already waiting months, sometimes even years to see a
00:55:41.920
specialist, it's about to get way worse. And you can thank the COVID controllers.
00:55:46.720
Oh, it's going to be horrible, but I will tell you this, Sheila, and I'll have to be a little cryptic in
00:55:50.480
my language. Uh, I didn't buy into this garbage myself and some of my fellow rebel staffers. We went to a
00:55:57.280
secret gym during COVID. Oh yeah. And if government wants to come after us for that, just try it.
00:56:03.680
And in the nice weather months, I was out on my very pricey road bike. Um, I got a really good bike
00:56:10.400
because I would feel guilty not to ride it given how much I invested in this bike. And I can tell you,
00:56:16.960
Sheila, um, you know, it was kind of like Superman going to his fortress of solitude. I'm out there in the
00:56:23.200
fresh air, exercising, breaking a sweat. And the only downside in those years, we're passing by
00:56:32.000
other cyclists wearing masks. How do you breathe? See, I live out here in the middle of nowhere. I'll
00:56:39.360
go for a run. I might pass a horse, a donkey, um, maybe a tractor like it, but yeah, just,
00:56:48.880
just me and my shoes. Uh, but yeah, they even closed the national park next door. Like it was
00:56:53.360
just so unbelievable, stupid. And then now they're like, Oh wow. Who could have seen this coming? I
00:56:59.520
don't know. Everybody, like everybody. What did you think when you told people it was their civic
00:57:04.720
duty to sit on their butts and order in? What did you think would happen? Yeah. Well, um, here's the,
00:57:11.440
the, this is the hypothetical question. I think of the decade, Sheila, if we come across, oh,
00:57:19.760
I don't know, COVID 26, something breaks next year, or it's avian flu, or you pick it, whatever
00:57:27.040
pandemic floats your boat and government says, you know, we're so sorry to have to say this, but
00:57:33.440
we got to close down your mom, Paul shops. Oh yeah. The Walmart's and the liquor, uh, board
00:57:38.720
stores and the Costco's, they can remain open. You gotta practice social distancing. You gotta wear
00:57:44.880
a mask. You gotta get vaccine. Sheila, after the hell we've been through and after more and more
0.77
00:57:52.880
damning evidence, uh, emerges on a weekly basis. Um, here's my question. How many Canadians
1.00
00:58:01.600
buy into this? How many people again revert to being sheeple and obey these ridiculous mandates?
00:58:08.400
What say you? I think it depends on which part of the country that you're in. Yeah, true.
00:58:13.760
I think in Alberta, we were already, uh, as the movie is called ungovernable,
00:58:21.040
um, you could, you just couldn't keep us locked down. You can keep us out of the restaurants.
00:58:24.640
You can keep us at a church. Couldn't stop us from protesting. We were doing our own things.
00:58:28.560
We were like, we were ungovernable because when you live in a place where you
00:58:34.560
have a culture of not relying on the government, but relying on your friends and neighbors for
00:58:39.680
survival and a large rural community here. Um, you just, the government is not the answer.
00:58:48.160
It's more often the problem. And so we were, we have a culture of sticking together with each other.
00:58:54.320
Um, and we just, we weren't going to do it now. Would Toronto do it again? Yep. I, I think so.
00:59:00.640
Um, would Vancouver do it again? For sure. Uh, Montreal, you better believe it, but, uh,
00:59:07.200
uh, Fort Saskatchewan. No, thank you. We won't be doing any of that. So I think it does. Like,
00:59:13.760
I don't think Regina will allow itself to be locked down. I just, I think it, it, it's a cultural thing.
00:59:20.640
You know, you guys, you guys are different than us. You might be right. It might boil down to, uh,
00:59:26.400
whether you're in a red or a blue riding. Um, but, uh, hopefully we don't have to put this to the
00:59:33.600
test. Hopefully this was an anomaly, a blip, and we never have to, you know, it's like that, um,
00:59:40.720
great line in Jaws 2, which was a horrible movie, but where Chief Brody is going in to have a little
00:59:47.280
showdown with the mayor because there's shark attacks appearing and it's right before the
00:59:51.520
holiday weekend again. And, uh, Chief Brody says, I lived through that hell once and I'm not going to
00:59:59.040
live through it again. That's where I stand on COVID-19 part two. Look, we might, uh, be able to
01:00:06.640
take you people as refugees in a free and independent Alberta. I mean, I don't know. I don't know.
0.92
01:00:13.280
Just think about it. Um, you guys are going to need a place, uh, where you can bug out to
01:00:18.880
and, uh, just could be Alberta. Now, I know we have to touch on the gun rights issue because it
01:00:24.160
is in the YouTube headline and then we'll do, uh, some chats and then the daily cringe.
01:00:33.120
Between this person and Olivia Chow, she's a daily cringe recidivist.
01:00:38.720
She has to have her daily cringe work release revoked and she has to go back to cringe jail
01:00:45.200
because she is the worst. And it's constantly on an international scale where the Americans are
0.99
01:00:51.920
like, who is that loony tune that you guys have in your parliament? And by me saying that,
01:00:57.120
I think you already know who I'm talking about, but we'll get to that in a second.
01:01:00.640
Calgary-based firearms manufacturer shuts down, lays off workers following the RCMP decision to
01:01:06.240
prohibit the R9 MK1 sporting rifle. Sterling Arms International president says they have
01:01:12.960
around a hundred of the now banned guns that they can't sell and hundreds more that have been banned
01:01:17.280
over the past five years. So, um, these guys are based in Calgary, Sterling Arms. The
01:01:23.440
R9 MK1 looks super cool, but it's just a regular old rifle and it was previously, uh, unrestricted,
01:01:36.000
which means that the government has no clue how many of these are out there. And they, up until
01:01:45.120
quite literally last week, didn't have a problem with it or didn't think that it needed even an extra
01:01:51.600
level of licensing, meaning that it would be a restricted firearm, the way handguns used to be,
01:01:58.080
the way, um, AR-15s used to be. Uh, this was just something that you could own like your shotgun
01:02:06.960
or your SKS. And then one day, some authoritarian weaponized nerd in the RCMP firearms bureaucracy,
01:02:16.800
faceless dork, who will never be held accountable for what he's doing, woke up and said, you know
01:02:25.280
what, we're moving this directly from unrestricted to prohib, meaning people went to bed with their
01:02:34.320
guns safely locked in their guns safe, the way responsible firearms owners should do, woke up and
01:02:39.360
thanks to the stroke of a pen of some weaponized geek, uh, they're criminals now because they own a, uh,
01:02:47.600
prohibited firearm. And they nuked this guy's business, they nuked the jobs of the people he
01:02:53.920
employ, and they did it without proof. They can't even say, look, we've got a gajillion amount of
01:03:00.320
killings or shootings, these things are being trafficked by the gangs. As if the gang trafficking would
01:03:07.600
be on the feet of responsible firearms owners. But you know, that's usually the argument they try
01:03:13.280
to make, but they didn't even try to, they're just like, you know what looks sweet. Let's ban it.
01:03:18.480
And this doesn't have to have any proof. Nobody is called to the, uh, bar to make any sort of, um,
01:03:27.600
arguments on, on behalf of it. If it backfires as it has here, nobody's held responsible. Nobody's
01:03:34.720
fired. Nobody's accountable to parliament. Nothing. These people are making rules and
01:03:39.920
turning you into a criminal and you don't even know who they are to hold them to account. It is
01:03:44.560
the worst thing that has, uh, that the RCMP firearms office has this power. If God willing,
01:03:54.320
the conservatives ever get elected, they need to strip this power from the RCMP. And these prohibitions
01:03:59.840
need to be made by politicians because you can vote out politicians and you'll never know this nerd's
0.99
01:04:04.640
name. No. Well said, Sheila. The only thing I can add is this, um, where's elbows up? Uh, last I
01:04:12.800
looked, Sterling arms based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, it's Canadian company, uh, creating Canadian
01:04:19.520
jobs, uh, creating Canadian wealth. Or I guess if you're in the firearms business, you don't count.
01:04:25.600
Uh, not, not, no elbows up for you, I guess. This is sickening. It's a disgrace. And, um,
01:04:33.600
you know, again, it's clear, Sheila, that the carny liberals are picking off where the, um, you know,
01:04:40.400
Trudeau liberals left off and are going on a jihad against legal law-abiding gun owners who like to
01:04:48.640
target shoot and hunt. And, uh, meanwhile, on the flip side, uh, you've got gang bangers, um,
01:04:56.800
accused even of attempted murder, if you can believe it, uh, getting bail, getting out on parole. Um,
01:05:03.920
if anyone can connect the dots in terms of the logical process involved here, well, there's a steak
01:05:11.680
dinner in it for you because I've got nothing. Yeah, I think it was, I, I forget who it is. Guys in the
01:05:16.960
chat, correct me if I'm wrong. Was it Wolverine? Wolverine made, uh, an AR-15. And when the
01:05:27.520
government prohibited it without any proof, there's some geek again, putting it on the, uh,
01:05:36.560
ordering council, they basically nuked their entire business and they didn't care because this,
01:05:43.680
I mean, we're, we're gonna go all in elbows up for the foreign owned, uh, electric vehicle
1.00
01:05:53.680
manufacturers, uh, while sacrificing canola farmers on that altar. We're gonna go all in for steel.
01:06:02.160
We're gonna go all in for these companies. But these small family-run firearms manufacturers,
01:06:09.760
largely out here in Alberta, they're being destroyed. Yep. Um, and, uh, nobody seems to care.
01:06:17.920
Well, the firearms community cares. Well, and we care, Sheila. We, I, but the powers that be,
01:06:23.680
the powers who are doing this stuff, they don't care. They only care about,
01:06:29.360
it feels like unionized jobs in the East and they don't care about our jobs.
01:06:35.600
And Sheila, if I can just say this, I find when I meet people in the firearms community,
01:06:41.520
these are the greatest people. They are salt of the earth. They're wonderful Canadians. They're not
01:06:46.560
criminals, uh, despite the vilification and demonization of their hobby. And, um, it's a shame
01:06:54.000
what's happening. And, uh, you know, hopefully it can be reversed, uh, when there is regime change,
01:07:02.000
but my goodness, there's, there's so much to reverse, isn't there? Um, Sheila, I think we have some super
01:07:07.920
chats if I do believe. Yeah, we've got just a couple and then we'll get to the daily cringe.
01:07:12.320
Um, scamps one gives us five bucks as thanks for doing all you do. Thanks so much. Thank you.
01:07:19.840
Yeah. I don't know what else I would do. What else would I do with my day?
01:07:25.600
You know what, Sheila? You're selling yourself short. I, I think you have so many skills. Me,
01:07:32.560
on the other hand, you're looking at a contemporary dinosaur if rebel news ever goes away.
01:07:37.680
Yeah. I would probably just put her around my yard with my cat and my garden. Um,
01:07:44.240
Cecily, Cecily, uh, gives us, uh, two bucks and says, just because, well, thank you so much. Wow.
01:07:52.560
Okay. Let's hit the daily cringe. As I said, recidivist, repeat offender on the daily cringe.
01:07:58.560
Uh, Hall of Famer. You know what? Yes. She's a gold star cringe. Okay.
01:08:05.600
Okay. Elizabeth May goes on a rant for over nine minutes. I'm not listening to nine minutes of this
1.00
01:08:12.880
lunatic. We might listen to two, maybe three, uh, calling Donald Trump a bully.
01:08:20.560
You know what? I feel like Elizabeth May wasn't quite bullied enough in her youth.
01:08:25.120
Uh, telling Carney how to win the tariff war. What tariff war? We just keep getting tariffs.
01:08:35.120
Carney keeps putting his elbows down. Um, she wants the digital tax reimposed and collected.
0.85
01:08:46.080
Does again, green socialist doesn't understand that that tax is not going to be paid by Netflix.
01:08:52.400
It's going to be paid by you, the Netflix watcher, but on the flip side, maybe some of you would get
01:08:58.800
off Netflix and go outside. So I don't know. I'm of two minds there. Um, I'm against taxes though.
01:09:04.080
So let's listen to Elizabeth May green party leader again. She's the leader again, and she's like a
01:09:10.320
poltergeist. She's just haunting the house of comments. They keep making her not the leader.
0.80
01:09:15.040
And then she keeps taking the party back over. Not a serious bunch, but anyways,
01:09:19.520
in fairness, Sheila co-leader along with the person who no one can remember his name.
01:09:26.240
I don't know. I didn't even know there was a co-leader until we were watching press conferences
01:09:31.440
of her and him during the campaign. And I was like, who's that guy? Oh, co-leader.
01:09:37.120
And I'm like, I pay, I watch politics for a living and I had no idea who that guy was.
01:09:48.720
Remember, pray for the people of her riding because, uh, they obviously, um, you know,
01:09:56.160
I'm in favor of medicating the water wherever she lives because they have a mental illness problem.
1.00
01:10:02.000
I have here, of course, communication from the president of the United States, Donald
01:10:07.680
J. Trump, who uses social media as his weapon of choice with late night rants. This one is
01:10:14.880
extremely unusual being allegedly a letter to our prime minister. We know that prime minister Mark
01:10:21.840
Kearney has made every effort to engage in good faith with Donald Trump. I think Mr. Trump doesn't
01:10:29.040
know the meanings of good faith, nor does he understand the concept that once you've signed
01:10:33.920
a treaty with a country, it means something. He certainly likes signing things. The letter is almost
01:10:40.640
a parody of abuse of power. It is a great honor, he starts, capital G, capital H, a great honor for
01:10:48.160
me to send you this letter, which is full of threats and lies. Well, thank you very much, Mr. Trump.
01:10:53.680
As the leader of the Green Party of Canada, as a member of parliament and as a Canadian who is
01:10:58.000
outraged by the continual abuse and aggression we're receiving from what remains a great neighbor.
01:11:06.800
I mean, we're, there they are. I sometimes feel like Sarah Palin when I wake up over there and say,
01:11:11.840
I can see the United States out my window. I see Mount Baker in Washington state due east.
01:11:16.880
And I think all of us as Canadians understand that our disputes are not with the people of the United
01:11:25.360
States of America, but with the current administration. And the decisions of that
01:11:29.600
administration are a threat, not just to the North American economy, but indeed to the global sense
01:11:36.960
of international law, to an understood order of the world, to a world trading system, to
01:11:46.240
decades of work in establishing something like geopolitical security. That's been thrown out
01:11:52.960
the window. So why I asked you here this morning is what I would love to see our prime minister do
01:11:59.760
in response. I think there's no question in my mind, I think everybody who was here for the election,
01:12:05.920
all Canadians know that the ballot question moved to who can best deal with Trump. And we rallied around
01:12:13.760
the call of elbows up. I added to that arms outstretched because I do want our neighbors to the South to
01:12:19.440
know that our dispute is not with them as individuals. But we have to do what's required
01:12:25.360
now to protect our economy. And we have to make sure the U.S. knows that we're not going to cower
01:12:30.400
in a corner and hope that someday they'll be nice to us if we give them all our lunch money.
01:12:35.360
We're dealing with a bully, or one might say we're dealing with a pirate. Since there's never been in
01:12:42.320
the history of the United States, there's no point in me saying I've never seen, there's never been in
01:12:45.680
the history of the United States of America, a president who so abused power as to aggrandize
01:12:51.120
his personal wealth without concern for whether that would be seen as offensive to the sensibilities
01:12:58.080
of people who understand what it is to be an elected official in a democratic nation.
01:13:04.240
So what can we do? There are things we can do. So I've suggested this today to Prime Minister Carney.
01:13:10.960
First step, the digital sales tax was passed by Parliament. We so far have essentially press
01:13:17.600
releases and mentions that we're going to remove it, not collect it. We're collecting it. I would urge
01:13:22.880
that the Prime Minister make it clear that the digital sales tax be collected. It's not merely
01:13:28.320
an opportunistic move because these corporations are based in the United States. They have been
01:13:33.680
enriching themselves while robbing us. They have hit different sectors of our economy in ways that have
01:13:40.560
been damaging to the fabric of life in Canada, including through undermining our housing and access to
01:13:47.680
affordable housing through things like Airbnbs. They've undermined the institutions of
01:13:52.720
democracy, particularly in journalism, through things like the ability to have classified ads
01:13:58.480
under Kijiji and Craigslist that have replaced the number one source of revenue to most of the
01:14:03.600
newspapers in Canada. We accepted a lot of what was digital as benign. And it's very clear, and we're
01:14:11.520
not the only country around the world that sees this, that we need to get a hold of this. So I think
01:14:16.480
we're reversing the earlier decision to appease Trump by removing the digital services tax.
01:14:22.640
Parliament hasn't repealed the law. The law is there. We collect the digital services tax.
01:14:26.800
It augments, as the parliamentary budget officer has found, it gets billions of dollars a year.
01:14:31.600
But it also maintains coherence and allyship with the other nation states within the OECD that are doing
01:14:39.440
the same thing. We mustn't cave, elbows up, digital sales tax. That's enough. I've had so much.
01:14:48.240
Is she a lobbyist for the bargain finder or the auto trader? Like, what is she talking about?
01:14:56.480
I remember the bargain hunter. The bargain finder. I loved it. We would come out on Thursday and I would
01:15:02.000
immediately pick it up, like five o'clock in the morning, pick it up and just look at the free stuff.
01:15:05.760
Well, I'm so jealous of you, Sheila Gunn-Reed. You live in a market where I believe Tradio is on
01:15:10.560
the radio. So if only for me. Well, you know what? Let's look at the positives. You know, the
01:15:17.120
positive, Sheila, is Elizabeth May did not appear to be drunk. I remember 10 years ago.
01:15:24.240
This is new. You know, her co-leader, as she was talking, just to keep myself engaged and in reality,
01:15:30.880
because when she talks, it feels like my head is too heavy for my neck sometimes.
01:15:34.240
I just was like, um, her co-leader resigned April 30th and his Jonathan Pedno.
01:15:44.240
That's it. Yeah. Yeah. And he resigned April 30th, leaving May the sole dictator in charge
01:15:52.000
of the Green Party of Canada. Gulf, Saanich, Gulf Islands, medicate the water there. They're not
01:15:58.560
making good choices. I'm not in favor of medicating the water most of the time, but look, it's for the
01:16:03.920
their own good. Well, at least he got to see the light, but you're looking at the photograph of
01:16:09.120
maybe the biggest footnote in Canadian political history. But you know, Sheila, I go back to this,
01:16:14.960
you know, uh, you know, 10 years ago, that's when Elizabeth May got drunk and started, um,
0.93
01:16:21.200
singing welcome back Cotter. But who she was serenading was our homegrown Al Qaeda terrorist,
0.86
01:16:28.160
Omar Cotter and, uh, saying he had, um, uh, I forget the word, but there was more credence
01:16:36.640
in a terrorist who killed somebody and injured another than the entire, uh, conservative party
01:16:42.400
of Canada. And secondly, did she not, um, lose her street cred in the green movement? I think it was
01:16:49.920
Victoria Day 2019. She shows up at that parade in, uh, Victoria behind the wheel of a 640 horsepower
01:17:01.200
Dodge Viper. Yeah. No, no hybrid here. No EV for Elizabeth May, pure muscle car mania. Give me a break.
0.99
01:17:10.560
She should have lost her street cred with the green party since when she has like one of the longest
1.00
01:17:18.800
commutes to the house of commons every single week, like from one side of the country, the furthest point
01:17:27.520
to the other side. Um, and there she is, there she is walking them. How can you be so unaware? And by the
01:17:37.120
way, um, look at the turnout there. I'm counting maybe five people. They're riveted. They are
01:17:44.560
absolutely riveted by Elizabeth May. Did you know that she has the order of Canada? She got it in 2005.
01:17:50.560
For what? I don't know. No, but I mean, really the Sierra club, I guess, you know, well, that says
01:17:58.320
something about the order of Canada. I was opening up a box of Count Chocula the other day. Oops, look at
01:18:03.120
that. An order of Canada. I mean, just unbelievable. Well, there you go. There's, if you, if you can
01:18:10.800
stomach the rest of that rant, folks, um, more power to you. Like, I still can't believe she's like,
01:18:17.920
we need to get rid of Facebook marketplace and Kijiji, uh, because we need to keep newspapers alive
01:18:29.200
by having classified sections. So, so wait a minute, Sheila, then what about a, you know,
01:18:33.920
in for a penny and for a pound, then we need to get rid of the automobile altogether. We go back to
01:18:38.880
riding, um, uh, horses and donkeys, right? Which by the way, you know, pre automobile, what the average
01:18:46.720
city looked like with the amount of manure in it horrendous. Yeah. You know, so please, uh, spare me the
01:18:53.200
lectures of what's coming out of the tailpipe of an SUV. She's like a candlestick maker in the
0.99
01:18:58.000
dawn of the electricity era. What is wrong with, and it's not even the dawn of the electricity era.
01:19:02.880
She's like a candlestick maker 30 years after electricity was put into everybody else's house.
01:19:09.360
And she just wants to roll it back, elbows up. Well, Sheila, I see we're about 20 past the hour,
01:19:15.440
so we got to wrap this up, you know, and, uh, Hey folks, thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you
01:19:21.840
to those who gave a donation. Uh, much appreciate that. I believe Sheila Gunn-Reed is back here tomorrow
01:19:28.880
at one o'clock Eastern with the lovely lease. I'll be back, I believe on Friday, uh, with a rebel to be
01:19:36.960
announced later, as they say in the sports trading business. In the meantime, as always, folks stay safe
01:19:43.440
and stay sane. You previously called for severe limits to population growth in Canada. Can you
01:19:48.960
clarify what you mean by that? So first of all, I'll tell you what I don't mean, which is natural
01:19:54.160
population growth. That is almost non-existent in Canada. We have roughly the same number of people
01:20:00.000
who die as who are born. So all of our population growth, in fact, in the last quarter, there were
01:20:05.280
more deaths than births. So what I am referring to is migration, uh, net migration. Uh, we have millions
01:20:12.960
of people whose permits will expire over the next couple of years and they will, many of them will
01:20:19.760
leave. Uh, we need to ensure that more leave than come in over the next couple of years while we catch
01:20:27.360
up. Well, housing, health care, and jobs can catch up. Um, we've had population growth of roughly a
01:20:35.680
million a year under the Liberals, uh, while we barely build 200,000 homes. Uh, the, our job market
0.92
01:20:44.480
is stalled and yet we are adding more people to the workforce. Our young people are facing generational
01:20:50.560
highs in, uh, unemployment because the jobs are, the multinational corporations are giving jobs to low
01:20:59.520
wage temporary foreign workers, uh, and, uh, that ultimately leave, leave our young people without
0.82
01:21:05.920
opportunities. Um, our country is divided and we're not able to integrate people at this pace. So in order
01:21:13.760
to fix the problem, we've got to, uh, have, we need to put very hard caps on immigration levels. We need more
0.99
01:21:21.600
people leaving than coming for the next couple of years. And, uh, we need, uh, we, so our country can actually
01:21:27.840
catch up. Uh, our immigration policy should invite the right people in the right numbers in a way that
