00:02:49.900
fraternal twins separated at birth in 1905 in saskatchewan it's a grudge that was given to me
00:02:59.140
before i was born that we were separated from saskatchewan but i should tell everybody what
00:03:04.040
we're doing here today this is the rebel news live stream it's a daily show wherein we talk about the
00:03:08.600
news of the day completely unscripted and sometimes i'm going in cold definitely today i am so david's
00:03:14.600
going to be in the driver's seat and i'm going to be along for the ride the uh innocent bystander and
00:03:20.440
all of this if you're watching us on rumble thank you for sticking it out on a wonderful free speech
00:03:26.040
platform that cares about your god-given human right to speak your mind unmolested by big state
00:03:32.520
or the government um if you want to support the work that we do over there um because as you know
00:03:37.280
we'll never take a penny from the government to do the journalism we do you can do that by way of
00:03:42.560
a rumble rant that's their paid chat if it's over the five dollar u.s cutoff which is the currency
00:03:48.360
that rumble uses we will obligate ourselves to read it on air if it's under that we'll do our best to
00:03:53.560
get to it and uh some of you may know but i will reiterate it until such time as they revoke our
00:04:00.200
monetization which you know could be any day it's youtube but we are re-monetized over there so if
00:04:06.320
you want to leave us a super chat same rules apply um with the five dollar cutoff and you can if you
00:04:13.720
are watching the recorded version of the show leave a super thanks that's the paid comment and
00:04:19.020
sometimes i go back and i see those and i appreciate you guys for doing that because you know
00:04:22.400
we since it's not live we can't read them on air so you're just uh leaving us some money to keep us
00:04:29.980
fighting for another day so we really appreciate you choosing us okay david what are we talking about
00:04:35.660
first well um this is about as newsworthy i suppose as there's salt water in the pacific ocean but
00:04:41.960
sheila it turns out with the re-election of the liberals last month uh the thirst for alberta
00:04:48.280
separatism has accelerated uh beyond what was expected um there was a tweet uh from peter mcgaffrey
00:04:57.820
um i don't know if we have that olivia but i'll read it before the election an angus reed poll
00:05:04.060
suggested support for separatism would rise from 25 to 30 percent if the liberals were re-elected
00:05:12.860
now a new angus reed poll shows it's actually up to 36 percent according to my math it's gone up 11
00:05:22.080
percent not the anticipated five percent prior to the election well sheila gun reed you're an alberton
00:05:28.280
a proud alberton uh probably somebody that might be part of the separatist movement uh what do you
00:05:34.040
what's your take on this uh yeah i just put out a x post storm on this i have a video coming up
00:05:44.060
today on this separation poll but when you dig down into the poll this is 36 percent of the people
00:05:52.600
okay so 50 percent of the people support giving the people a voice and actually i think that seems low
00:05:58.380
um i think it's probably a lot higher than that but it's polite company right so half of albertans
00:06:05.060
and saskatchewanians support a referendum on leaving canada but here's the story ottawa's actions
00:06:10.420
are fueling the separatist fire which is true the polling data plays it out 50 percent support holding
00:06:15.720
a referendum 30s to my great pride we've once again overtaken saskatchewan in the separatist
00:06:22.160
sentiment they were a little bit higher earlier we were like at 30 and they were uh at 33 or 34
00:06:28.480
or something we've overtaken them so 36 of albertans and 34 of saskatchewan said that they
00:06:34.780
would leave and this is so far this is without an education campaign this is without a polling
00:06:40.100
question like this is without any clear question this is without the um americans hitting on us and
00:06:47.480
saying well you know you can get lower tax like without like an actual campaign from the americans
00:06:54.680
saying why don't you join us wouldn't you like 50 percent more of your income in your pocket all the
00:07:01.020
time and your assets to be worth more so this is without any sort of education campaign now this is
00:07:07.000
what's interesting 19 so this is 20 and again i think this is low based on just my anecdotal evidence
00:07:14.280
19 and 15 of people from saskatchewan said they would definitely vote to leave they don't even
00:07:20.120
need to hear what the question is they don't they don't care they like they are not like
00:07:26.000
take my assets i don't care whatever it is you i cannot be convinced to stay so one in one in five
00:07:34.080
is fully radicalized to get out of here and the polling data says um that uh it's because ottawa isn't
00:07:40.480
listening uh they the polling data lays out pipeline blockades emissions caps and bill c69 and um mark
00:07:48.420
carney says he's going to keep all of those things um now when they were asked what would keep them in
00:07:54.500
the country like here's the thing those like we're going to vote to go people they are realists they're
00:08:01.520
not even radical separatists because they said we would vote to stay if we could get an east-west
00:08:08.440
pipeline or rather a west-east pipeline repeal blc69 or drop the emissions cap they the polling said
00:08:15.740
do those and we stay but we know the liberals are not going to do those um there was uh another thing
00:08:26.500
so if bc and quebec block more infrastructure support for separation like jumps through the roof
00:08:32.960
like to 70 percent uh uh so and we know that carney has said he's going to give quebec a veto
00:08:41.440
we just know that um and we know with an ndp government in bc that's also going to happen so
00:08:47.640
you're going to see these numbers continue to just tick over 40 percent in another month and keep going
00:08:52.580
and keep going and keep going uh 70 percent of leave voters would stay if the conservatives won
00:08:58.120
federally so what this indicates to me that this isn't radicalism it's a rational reaction to liberal
00:09:04.420
misrule of us and we don't see there's something that can be structurally fixed now a lot of people
00:09:11.720
said uh they think a referendum would fail today but that's today not a year from now and not without
00:09:18.360
leadership or an education campaign and i'm not even sure this thing needs political leadership
00:09:22.800
i think it's outside of politics really um so that that was my analysis of that so uh these are
00:09:31.440
reluctant separatists who feel like they have no choice these aren't anti-canadian people they feel
00:09:38.480
like uh this is a natural reaction to you drowning and the government not taking their foot off your head
00:09:46.260
and you know sheila for all the reasons you've given i totally understand the sentiment
00:09:52.420
for the separation movement in alberta and saskatchewan especially this year when if the polls were
00:09:59.560
accurate it was indicating a few months ago um a peer polyev landslide majority government
00:10:06.940
that was denied for so many reasons we don't have the time to get into and yet again western canada
00:10:14.340
is relegated to watching the election night coverage and before they've even counted the votes
00:10:20.740
in the west and they're already declaring um mark carney uh the prime minister and the liberals
00:10:28.340
almost getting a majority and of course what polyev promised to get the energy sector up and running
00:10:36.040
again uh that was such a draw to vote conservative and i mean let's face it the west typically does vote
00:10:44.840
conservative here's my question for you sheila whatever the numbers are i mean 36 percent um it's high
00:10:50.360
that's more than people vote for the liberals and the ndp combined out here in these parts it is but
00:10:55.960
even though i'm a grade 11 math dropout well not a dropout i failed but even i can figure out that
00:11:02.540
means 64 percent are not down with separatism but whatever the case may be that's even hypothetically
00:11:09.020
it's 50 50 a year from now sheila because you know the lay of the land of your province
00:11:14.880
if you were to ask an alberton make the case for staying in canada as opposed to leaving pardon no
00:11:23.220
nobody can like i've been asking i've i've been asking i'm like look outside of nostalgia
00:11:34.900
because we're canadian okay but that's that go falls under nostalgia give me a reason why we're
00:11:44.800
better off within than without and nobody as the political landscape is nobody can sort of give me
00:11:51.460
a reason and i i guess nostalgia is a valid reason those people the nostalgia voters they get a vote too
00:11:57.840
so i i don't know but this is i mean these numbers are like i said without leadership without
00:12:03.340
an information campaign without uh the voices of no being addressed you know there's a lot of talk
00:12:08.640
about what are the indigenous people going to do keith bolson we went through it laid it all out uh
00:12:13.720
the other day that this this stuff has already been addressed so if there were a broad year-long
00:12:19.740
information campaign where people are like well i don't know what we would do about the oil and gas
00:12:24.540
sector well i do i don't know what we do about the uh military well those questions have been
00:12:30.300
answered quebec actually what did the legwork for us on this uh we probably paid for it so i guess
00:12:36.840
that's fair but um yeah like these these uh the objections have not yet even been begun to be
00:12:46.460
addressed so i i think we're gonna see a lot of movement on those numbers going forward well you
00:12:50.620
know that is amazing or just to or on the flip side as you saw in the data if carney all of a sudden
00:12:56.680
does something reasonable those numbers will plummet oh uh i never thought of that well if he
00:13:03.260
wants to woo albertans uh and i've said this before sheila he should immediately or as soon as possible
00:13:10.640
green light a pipeline project promise no government interference so it doesn't scare off investors
00:13:17.300
okay but there are no he said the opposite he he is still down with bill c69 so not only bill c69 but
00:13:24.500
even if it passes bill c69 which is crazy i mean it's c69 is built to fail right it's prohibition
00:13:32.000
through bureaucracy but even if it does pass he said he would give quebec a veto um and also there
00:13:40.340
are no proposals on the table like no company is going to build a pipeline in canada while mark like
00:13:48.620
a major west to east pipeline project there's nothing on the table right now because why would you you
00:13:53.960
could just go to west texas and do all the work you want yeah 100 well let's move on to a video clip
00:13:59.840
from ctv it is premier daniel smith yet again trying to make it perfectly clear where she stands on the
00:14:08.260
separation issue uh but i i get the feeling the media doesn't like the answers they're getting
00:14:14.620
right so let's roll this clip and then uh uh decompartmentalize it afterwards
00:14:20.120
ontario's premier doug ford uh yesterday was asked about some of the conversation going on
00:14:26.500
around separation and in particular your own contribution to that conversation he made the
00:14:32.620
point quote unquote this is a time to unite against the tariffs and other threats from donald trump
00:14:37.460
not talk about things that separate us does he have a point there i think we've got uh two issues
00:14:43.120
in alberta one is of course uh working with our fellow uh premiers and the prime minister on trying
00:14:48.720
to get a renegotiated canada u.s free trade agreement but the other is that we need to have
00:14:53.760
a new deal with ottawa as well when i when i talk to albertans there um when you think about how fearful
00:14:59.560
canadians are of the impact that donald trump will have on the economy that's how fearful albertans
00:15:05.240
are that uh an approach that the liberals have taken for the last 10 years will continue
00:15:09.980
and damage our economy so i i would like to see and i'm hopeful that we can i've had a good couple
00:15:14.960
of first conversations with prime minister carney that we can address some of those pressure points
00:15:19.000
and really unleash all of the investment that we know will happen in alberta when some of those
00:15:23.160
barriers are out of the way you know she like can doug ford stop meddling you know i'm getting a
00:15:30.720
little sick of this uh he's done enough to us he can stop you know the week before the federal
00:15:36.540
election with that astonishing betrayal of the conservative movement but you know i gotta
00:15:42.460
wonder what is his motivation you know dougie trust me if alberta becomes a sovereign nation
00:15:47.520
you're still going to get the ingredients you need to make those cherry cheesecakes don't worry doug
00:15:53.420
it'll be business as usual at the dining table so um you know if i'm daniel smith i'm really getting a
00:16:00.920
little peeved off about um dougie meddling all the time sheila yeah doug ford can shut his mouth
00:16:07.940
exactly uh the entire problem that albertans have right now is some disconnected bloated politician
00:16:16.400
from ontario keeps trying to run our lives and tell us to sit down and shut up so maybe he could
00:16:22.820
read the room and stay out of our business he's done enough don't worry your equalization payments
00:16:27.980
will keep coming at least for now he's done enough to the conservative movement and if he has designs
00:16:34.840
on being the leader of uh the official opposition with hopes to one day be in the prime minister's
00:16:40.840
office he doesn't do that without us so he can help shove us out the door but it will end his
00:16:46.240
political aspirations of being the next conservative prime minister of this country because you take all
00:16:53.240
the big blue voters right out of the middle of the country yeah i mean that has been floated sheila
00:16:58.920
that he is aspirational for sure he does but but you know sure and i'll tell you when i'll get scared
00:17:04.360
is when doug ford starts taking french lessons because uh i believe he doesn't speak a word of french and
00:17:11.260
that's a non-starter if you're going to be a prime minister yeah well not one might say the same thing
00:17:17.420
about uh our current prime minister mark carney i know alexis got some real issues with his french
00:17:24.520
so i mean he might i mean who knows he might be taking french in the background i don't know
00:17:29.940
um but if he like i said if he has designs on the prime minister's office do you think you get there
00:17:36.440
by alienating alberta not a chance unbelievable um also speaking of polls sheila scott mo uh there's
00:17:45.760
he was referencing a new poll indicating a high level of anger and frustration in saskatchewan
00:17:54.100
driven by years of unconsulted anti-resource policies of the trudeau ndp government i love that
00:18:01.900
the trudeau slash ndp government yeah it also shows there was a clear path forward for uh prime minister
00:18:07.940
mark carney repeal bill c69 and then i can't read the rest uh to allow something this is just
00:18:17.560
yeah this is just scott mo uh responding to the polling data that i read earlier right and in the
00:18:23.360
polling data it said uh c69 um approve major mining and energy projects remove the oil and gas
00:18:31.120
production cap which is the emissions cap and the support for the separation drops significantly but
00:18:37.580
we know that mark carney is doubling down on this stuff and you know that we they weren't even pulled
00:18:42.680
on the canola tariff stuff like and and what you know in a tariff war with the united states we were told
00:18:50.020
okay well you can you would you mind going broke for the rest of us would you mind cutting off the oil
00:18:55.880
and gas um and the pot ash to the americans um just to help the rest of us out and we rightly said no
00:19:03.600
you won't even let us build a pipeline you want us to unemploy ourselves get bent um and scott mo's
00:19:10.360
right he is saying like that the creator of the separatist movement in the west is ottawa and they
00:19:19.640
continue to uh put fuel on the fire a hundred percent um and we have um you know we do slam
00:19:27.860
the mainstream media uh often and rightly so but one of the good guys folks yeah is uh joe warmington
00:19:35.580
the squaller with the toronto sun and he has an article here when it comes to alberta's wants
00:19:41.860
coach don cherry says canada should listen you know she let one grapes be a great prime minister
00:19:48.660
yes yes um he would he's reasonable and he you know like here's a guy who does invoke canadiana
00:19:59.800
nostalgia to me and i don't have a lot of that within me um but yeah i mean he's saying yeah there's
00:20:09.600
a he said we want a better deal like albertans they want a better deal and they deserve it uh is
00:20:16.180
what he said to the toronto sun uh doug ford never said that about us he just basically said yeah uh
00:20:22.800
sorry alberta just shut up and take it yeah um and and this idea that even daniel smith is fomenting
00:20:28.720
referendum she's actually repeatedly said i i don't want i'm a federalist i don't want to leave
00:20:34.900
but the people have issues and the people should have a say and all the politicians who only care what
00:20:41.360
their voters have to say every four years are losing their minds about this and i'm just i'm
00:20:45.440
glad that uh don cherry uh understands why we feel the way we do can you believe sheila it's been almost
00:20:51.820
six years since the most highly rated 10 minutes of canadian tv was canceled when don cherry said um
00:21:01.040
well the truth basically um i i can't believe it's been that long i can't believe this beloved
00:21:07.920
canadian icon has been put on a shelf of cancel culture and by the way folks i i should tell you
00:21:14.320
uh in the weeks ahead uh i'm going to do a little presentation that's kind of a quasi book review
00:21:19.580
written about don cherry by his late daughter um that is a tell-all and you know what's funny sheila
00:21:27.060
uh the reason why it's been somewhat delayed i've been going to indigo to get a copy of this
00:21:32.680
new don cherry book it's never in stock i went on the website every single store across canada
00:21:40.340
this book is listed as out of stock out of stock i'm going to reach out to indigo because you know
00:21:46.620
something i don't i don't think it was ever in stock and the amazing thing is indigo like so many
00:21:53.200
other canadian companies they're wrapping themselves in the canadian flag you know it's red and white
00:21:58.820
look at us team canada and what symbolizes canada more than don cherry who is more beloved to canadians
00:22:07.260
millions of canadians than don cherry and you walk into an indigo sheila i don't know the last time you
00:22:12.720
went there it'll all these books heather's picks and staff picks and it's the most leftist woke
00:22:19.800
garbage it just outrageous nonsense and i'm wondering if that if that's part of the deal here
00:22:29.440
that this book which i'm sure is in great demand uh by cindy cherry um is not even on the bookshelves
00:22:39.140
so i'll reach out see what the answer is what's your take on that uh the book industry is dying like
00:22:46.280
the physical book industry is dying um in these large bookstores increasingly they're becoming
00:22:52.340
tours toy stores and coffee shops that also sell books have you noticed that and this is why because
00:22:57.880
they don't sell stuff can canadians actually want to read like if i want to go in there and i want to
00:23:02.520
get a book on uh cooking or whatever pinterest already does that for me um instagram already does
00:23:10.460
that so if you want a piece of something just to have it which is why you would want a physical
00:23:16.640
copy of this book you would want this thing to have it in your home and they don't sell it because
00:23:24.160
they're selling too many woke uh books that got grants from the federal government to be published
00:23:30.420
amazing yeah let's not stock a book that i think has bestseller written all over it uh let's you know
00:23:39.260
further the ideological uh process of promoting all this uh woke nonsense you see in there uh getting
00:23:47.460
heavily promoted their own little displays and comments by heather reissman the ceo and the staff
00:23:53.880
i mean this might be why bookstores are struggling sheila and have to become this is what i'm saying is
00:24:01.640
because they don't sell stuff that people want they're just selling nonsense and so then they wonder
00:24:06.420
why are people buying all their books off amazon i don't know because they have the books we want
00:24:11.440
to read how about that it's just as simple as that they have the thing we want a hundred percent so
00:24:19.480

and speaking of gold uh sheila i see there's a global news report bank of canada says trade war
00:27:21.480
poses greatest threat to canadian economy trade war wait a minute wasn't this the idea of electing
00:27:29.160
mark carney he was going to don his captain canuck uh costume uh whipped down to the white house as he
00:27:35.260
did a few days ago sit down and talk reason with uh donald trump especially in light of the fact that
00:27:42.640
somehow the uk just got a trade agreement um solidified uh do you think maybe uh prime minister
00:27:50.720
carney oversold himself to a gullible liberal base
00:27:55.080
oversold or completely lied i think is probably uh what he did he said he was the the relationship
00:28:06.400
with the americans is over and then he's down there doing the trump pose like doing the like
00:28:11.560
with his fist and then this um and congratulating trump for his strong leadership and then i think was
00:28:19.260
the was oh the journal de montreal they had like trump zero carney one like as like as the score and
00:28:27.520
it's like what do you mean still got the tariffs and trump was like yeah those tariffs are never coming
00:28:32.060
off i wouldn't ask is there anything canada can do to get rid of the tariffs and trump's like this is
00:28:38.040
what he said nope just the way it is and so what exactly was the win there oh 100 i mean i mean i think
00:28:48.020
percentage wise trump did 85 percent of the talking uh first of all nine minutes to four minutes i think
00:28:55.520
it was yeah uh and so for le journal de montreal to score at one nothing maybe if their benchmark is
00:29:05.840
carney didn't get zelinski'd you know that was it handed his ass showing the door yeah maybe that's a
00:29:13.320
victory you didn't get absolutely verbally murdered by jb vance before you got out of the white house
00:29:19.320
i guess the bar is low that could be considered a win um but absolutely no needle was moved we still
00:29:26.860
have all the tariffs canada remain remains slapped with these enormous tariffs however alberta is the
00:29:33.660
winner amongst the losers in canada with the tariffs only 10 percent on oil and gas so perhaps
00:29:40.140
daniel smith was wisest of all and remember she was told she was called a traitor by the liberals
00:29:47.600
and doug ford um for going and making the case for alberta oil and gas she escapes the worst of the
00:29:54.820
tariffs meaning we escaped the worst of the tariffs she was accused of being a traitor because she was
00:29:59.300
too friendly with trump and then carney goes down there and is like thank you yes thank you mr trump
00:30:04.400
um for your strong leadership and then trump explains to him that i basically own you now
00:30:10.260
yeah i will say this you know because we are the umpire behind home plate calling balls and strikes
00:30:16.640
carney was skilled not to get zelinski'd because i think that was the prime directive going into this
00:30:23.060
meeting oh yeah yeah a hundred percent and obviously the journal de montreal thinks so but it was that part
00:30:30.020
and it was kind of clever when he said words the effect sheila that you know being in real estate
00:30:35.340
there are simply some properties not for sale this one here meaning the white house buckingham palace
00:30:41.380
which you have visited uh it's the same as canada it's not for sale it never will be for sale now if
00:30:47.180
he ended there i think the zelinski hammer might have come but carney was clever he then switched gears
00:30:55.220
right away in a run-on sentence to say but as you know we're investing more into the military border
00:31:01.940
security he was saying things he knew donald trump would like and be in agreement with right of course
00:31:09.000
he did but those were actually conservative proposals and he's like yeah we're defending the
00:31:13.720
north i'm like i distinctly recall pierre poliev giving a press conference from the north where his
00:31:19.900
face was frozen and about like defending the north investing more in the military cracking down on
00:31:25.620
fentanyl as opposed to just giving it to people as the liberals tend to do uh he went to trump and then
00:31:32.480
cribbed all of his notes from poliev and then all the mainstream media is like look he nailed it he did
00:31:38.960
such a good job and it's like yeah i guess because he went there and said all the things that poliev has
00:31:46.020
been saying for years i also uh i mean carney was also putting in an impossible spot and i kind of
00:31:53.200
enjoyed it when trump was bashing freeland calling her a horrible person and carney just had to sit
00:32:00.240
there because if you defend it uh jd vance is gonna get you and and freeland like he's her child's
00:32:11.560
godfather of all the men on the face of the earth it's probably her husband her father her
00:32:15.960
brother and him who should be defending her and he didn't say a word because he thought i must save
00:32:21.800
myself yeah he took one for the team uh nothing she did she did but you know what though what a
00:32:32.000
difference almost a decade makes uh sheila because there's none of this crap that we saw in 2016
00:32:37.820
in response to trump from justin trudeau who can ever forget hashtag welcome to canada you know
00:32:44.860
come cross over to roxham road we have the real canadian bellhop police there they'll carry your
00:32:50.900
bags there's none of that rhetoric anymore so um that's a good thing that's a good cause and effect
00:32:57.580
thanks to the uh donald trump effect that would argue yeah uh let's move ahead because i just
00:33:04.700
the the headline is really something here economy adds 7 400 jobs we are a country of 40 million plus
00:33:15.520
people like that's nothing that's that's like dust unemployment rate rises to 6.9 but that does not
00:33:24.600
tell the full story first of all we should be asking ourselves why we have uh all those temporary foreign
00:33:34.540
workers with absolutely no justification for it all given given that we have a rising unemployment rate
00:33:41.740
but the employment rate is nearly eight percent in ontario toronto itself is at 10 percent and it's
00:33:50.640
facing a housing crash so uh the bank of canada said that they expect housing uh values to fall
00:34:02.640
in some areas of the country i don't think albert i think we're going to see a net inbound migration
00:34:07.780
just because we remain free and awesome but uh the housing prices to fall like 25 or 35 percent
00:34:16.000
so if you're a mortgage holder this is bad bad bad coming at you in these overinflated superheated
00:34:23.960
housing markets like vancouver and toronto now now add 10 percent unemployment and the price of your
00:34:31.760
house is going to crash while you pay a mortgage on what you bought it for this is an absolute
00:34:37.700
disaster in the making but did you get your elbows up did you get them up guys what a stupid phrase i
00:34:44.880
mean when carney met trump it wasn't elbows up it was knees down he was kissing the ring uh but you know
00:34:51.960
i think what the most one of the most astounding stats pierre polyev offered at press conferences
00:34:59.700
and rallies in terms of the housing crisis that you mentioned and it was this it used to be
00:35:06.640
an average of 25 years for the average canadian to pay off an average mortgage and now in certain
00:35:14.940
canadian markets such as vancouver and toronto which are number one and number two in north america
00:35:22.700
so there's more than new york more than los angeles more than san francisco the stat mr polyev gave is
00:35:30.180
that it now takes on average 29 years for a canadian to save up enough for a down payment on a house
00:35:40.080
can you imagine that this is what that policy horizons uh oh yeah you know peak into the future
00:35:48.240
talked about generational mortgages yep because there's no possible way that you could even save
00:35:55.260
enough to get into the house your kids might get it and maybe your your great grandkids might be able
00:36:01.220
to pay the dang thing off like it's just crazy you're referring i i assume shayla to the the privy
00:36:06.780
council report predicting 15 years yeah 2040 uh we're gonna have basically a sci-fi dystopian canada
00:36:15.360
we're gonna have the rich who have either fled or are living in guarded gated communities and the rest
00:36:22.020
of us illegally hunting and foraging hey shayla i know you got all those fancy bow and arrows in 15
00:36:28.560
years can uh uh me and lady menzoid uh bunk up with uh you guys where you are and uh uh at least i know
00:36:36.140
you'll be able to deliver some critters for uh for our appetites you better get real good at
00:36:42.460
strangling geese in a public park because i'm putting up a bigger fence springfield ohio here i come
00:36:49.860
yeah exactly oh my goodness um and speaking of which uh dystopian future indeed yeah it's already in
00:37:00.220
places of ontario oh i think all over canada shayla i don't think it's just an ontario thing
00:37:06.080
and you know folks uh lincoln jay and i were uh the day we shot this was um you know ironically
00:37:13.400
election day we were in kitchener for a catholic school board meeting uh we're on route to saint
00:37:20.200
thomas for election day cover it was it was a jam day but we just happened upon this encampment
00:37:27.240
um and this is in little kitchener ontario uh i believe it's 100 victoria street what's amazing
00:37:34.720
sheila is that where this vacant lot is that is to be a transit hub uh for waterloo region and the
00:37:45.340
squatters have been given a date of uh december 1st to vacate and again what we see this in the u.s we
00:37:52.920
see this in canada legal interference um a judge uh you know offering a stay um for what he called
00:38:03.080
the residents the resident look i'm sorry these people are down on their luck i don't wish them
00:38:09.720
ill but you by illegally squatting on a vacant lot soon to be um a transit hub you are not a resident
00:38:19.280
a resident would imply a property owner or somebody renting property from a property owner
00:38:25.620
and yet whether it's squatter camps or bike lanes in toronto courts step in and and you know interfere
00:38:35.000
in the will of the government the will of the people i don't see sheila how something like that
00:38:40.480
we could tell we didn't embed ourselves in the camp because we've learned from bitter experience
00:38:46.900
that you are dealing with people who are criminal sometimes who are whacked out on drugs and might
00:38:54.640
own dangerous dogs if you know what i'm saying uh so we didn't embed ourselves but how is this a good
00:39:02.700
thing how should this be allowable in any city and i guess my conclusion sheila that in some areas of
00:39:11.680
canada 2040 is today that privy council report is the reality on the ground right now i think it's
00:39:21.700
shocking and disgraceful yeah you know we deal with this a little bit differently in alberta we
00:39:28.580
just clear them out our premier calls them uh gang controlled drug camps um which is what they are and
00:39:38.720
even if the people there aren't um gangsters they are usually being manipulated by gangsters
00:39:46.280
and uh they become hubs for crime and violence and it is at the very least you must agree that it is
00:39:56.580
unkind to leave these people sleep and rough but apparently it according to these activist judges
00:40:02.720
and the lawyers who take on their cases by the way this is somehow their human right to just sleep
00:40:10.140
in a public space or even worse on private property this is a growing problem sheila activist judges
00:40:17.360
and um it is interfering with the implementation of oh i don't know common sense but we shall move on
00:40:26.440
to an exclusive by the big boss man oh yeah it's relevant folks you have to have to watch this video
00:40:32.480
it was it's almost like it was scripted it was like journalism in real time it's a 36 minute piece
00:40:38.780
i know that's a little long every second is gold um ezra and uh super producer efren went down to
00:40:47.060
bermuda and no it wasn't a cbc junket where they'd spend a week there just setting up interviews
00:40:52.920
uh they hit the ground running they had two hours on the ground to do their report and then
00:41:00.180
get back to the airport because evidently um hotel rooms in bermuda i believe sheila are average like
00:41:07.620
a thousand u.s a night um right you know it's almost like it's a place for rich people to hide their
00:41:12.900
money yeah it's weird it's funny you say that because that is why ezra levant of course uh went down to
00:41:21.700
bermuda um wearing his snazzy bermuda shorts no less it was to find out where the money is and when
00:41:28.940
i say the money i mean mark carney's brookfield money uh the trail led him to a bicycle shop say
00:41:38.500
it ain't so let's check out a clip what a liar mark carney is let's go take a look i'm wearing my
00:41:45.540
bermuda shorts i'm in bermuda i'm tracking down mark carney's global address for brookfield asset
00:41:52.060
management see no 73 front street hang on is that really the principal executive offices of brookfield
00:42:02.220
asset management's environmental funds 25 billion dollars worth of assets the bike shop on the main
00:42:12.460
floor and it looks like i don't know if those are offices upstairs but brookfield swore a statement
00:42:18.860
with the securities and exchange commission in the united states and they published it to their
00:42:22.940
investors that that was the principal executive office for not just the 25 billion dollars in
00:42:31.200
environmental funds that i mentioned but for tens of billions of other funds why would you do that
00:42:36.640
by the way this looks like an amazing street there's flanagan's irish pub there's pubs all the way
00:42:43.200
down here it's a bit of a party street look at that there's gringo mayo that looks pretty fun of course
00:42:50.600
we're right down at the waterfront absolutely gorgeous here about 65 000 people here in bermuda
00:42:56.720
but i do not believe that brookfield asset management is actually here in any real sense other than
00:43:05.240
a mailbox and someone who is in the filings the principal boss jane sheer is the boss at the address of the
00:43:20.600
principal executives do you think jane is here do you think she runs brookfield asset management's
00:43:27.680
25 billion dollar environmental funds let's go in and find out all right it's 124 i tell you that
00:43:34.700
because we've only got about one hour left before we've got to fly i just went into 73 front street
00:43:41.180
i went into the winner's edge bike shop and i talked to the friendliest fella you know there's actually
00:43:48.420
a bermudian accent and i think it's lovely this is an amazing island that has an interesting
00:43:53.600
ethnic mix as well i think there's almost a bermudian ethnicity part african-american part white part
00:44:01.020
portuguese part indigenous anyways don't get me started on these lovely bermudians i went in there
00:44:06.800
and the friendly fella said he's got nothing to do with brookfield asset management he just runs a
00:44:14.060
bike shop but he heard for the first time about brookfield when ctv published a picture of their
00:44:22.180
front edifice he said that was the first time he heard about it i asked him had any journalist ever
00:44:28.460
popped by he said no of course not yeah i got a question for you it's not really about bikes
00:44:34.120
i i'm from canada and uh i don't know if you heard but we got a new prime minister
00:44:38.940
and and 73 front street is the address of one of his companies and i i'm it's obviously not this bike
00:44:46.160
shop yeah have you has any other reporter come by asking about that no not a single reporters have
00:44:52.560
you ever heard of this before yeah we saw an article about it in the ctv oh really what do you think of
00:44:57.800
that article yeah not much about it or just the bike shop in their building yeah so so there is
00:45:04.320
something else going on like there's offices upstairs yeah how would i get there like is there
00:45:10.340
is there a stairs or you have to go yes you got the door then you go there's a little alleyway on
00:45:16.220
the left on the left side yeah and there's a door there i'm not sure if it's key card it might be a key
00:45:21.200
card okay um have you ever met anyone from brookfield asset management no no have you ever
00:45:29.720
heard of it other than that ctv article like here i mean the building at the building ever that's
00:45:34.740
getting built yeah oh they're building a building yeah okay that's the one that's going up right
00:45:38.880
there that's uh brookfield's building all right well thanks very much for telling me you're welcome
00:45:43.600
okay cheers you too yeah that's good yeah you know so isn't that funny sheila um i you can go to
00:45:52.420
the winner's edge bike shop in bermuda and hey i i'd like to get that um 21 speed uh trek bike if you
00:45:59.540
don't mind a pair of cycling shorts how about some cycling gloves oh and by the way do you have a
00:46:04.260
harbor here for 10 billion dollars us now right in fairness um and i don't want to give away too much
00:46:11.520
of the video i want you folks to watch it uh turns out on the fifth floor there was indeed a brookfield
00:46:19.120
office but it is very improbable i would suggest that this tiny little office that only seemed to be
00:46:28.220
staffed by one person we can only see one person on camera uh that's responsible for tens and tens of
00:46:34.760
billions of dollars of uh brookfield asset money um just uh an incredible piece of journalism and
00:46:42.280
that's what i want the point i want to uh touch upon sheila because i don't want to ruin uh the
00:46:47.460
ending of the story for those who haven't seen it because it's well worth watching this video and
00:46:52.080
it's just taking off folks for for good reason but ctv okay they published a photo sheila why isn't it
00:47:01.520
that weeks ago before the election ctv and cbc and global and all the newspapers why didn't they do
00:47:11.000
the kind of shoe leather journalism the big boss man was doing two days ago get down to bermuda see
00:47:18.320
where the facts lead you tell the story or do they know what the story is do they know in advance what
00:47:25.020
the ending is and basically hey better not bite the future sugar daddy who's cutting these uh
00:47:31.440
mainstream media payola checks is that what it's about is that how low mainstream media journalism is
00:47:37.900
in canada now yes yes uh yeah that's exactly why uh we know why the cbc didn't go 1.4 billion dollars
00:47:48.880
plus another 150 million dollars to keep their mouths shut yep um so they aren't gonna go we know
00:47:55.020
that the rest of the media has been basically cbcified they survive on a perpetual string of grants
00:48:03.940
and subsidies and tax perks uh to keep their flawed broken and unconsumable content uh afloat
00:48:16.140
and so why would they do actual journalism you know they say that we are we aren't real journalists
00:48:21.260
why because we don't take the money because that looks like actual journalism to me getting on a
00:48:27.100
plane which i still can't believe bermuda's only three hours away from toronto that boggles my mind
00:48:31.720
you guys are closer to bermuda than i am to toronto what a huge country we're in um but getting on a plane
00:48:39.580
going to investigate the tax haven that our new prime minister is parking his money at
00:48:46.720
seems like it's of national interest but no they're paid not to be intellectually curious and it's working
00:48:54.220
and you know what else i found uh odd uh efran and ezra did uh they well they tried to do some
00:49:00.280
streeters i think they got two people on camera um nobody wanted to talk gee sheila do you think
00:49:06.560
there's a lot of people living in bermuda that have some uh tax sheltered money that's the reason
00:49:12.560
why they're in bermuda it kind of reminds me the worst place in the city of toronto to do streeters
00:49:17.860
go to king and bay that's the hub of the financial district they those folks there the bankers the
00:49:24.500
stockbrokers they won't even say no comment they do this with their hand like they're swatting away
00:49:29.700
a mosquito right so kids if you're in a journalism school do not go to king and bay
00:49:35.300
that is a desert for uh people weighing in but um just a spectacular piece and let's not forget
00:49:42.060
uh you know in terms of handing out blame to the mainstream media for not going to be bermuda
00:49:48.060
why didn't they like ezra did just before the election go to the isle of man another tax haven
00:49:54.880
uh place uh where brookfield has its tentacles so you're not getting your information
00:50:03.180
from the mainstream media as as a as a consumer if that is all you're consuming
00:50:09.440
no i mean this is why uh the eastern boomers were like no if it were true i would have seen it on cbc
00:50:19.080
this is the mindset that they're in and boomers used to get their news from facebook but you know the
00:50:27.080
justin trudeau took care of that by trying to shake down meta so if there were a hope that these
00:50:33.420
people would have their eyes opened uh that door was slammed shut when justin trudeau tried to shake
00:50:40.460
down uh the social media companies for well i guess to prop up again the failing mainstream media
00:50:47.840
now sheila please let me caution you on your language we know from a black locks reporter article
00:50:55.440
that um evidently the department of canadian heritage paid almost 69 000 for research that
00:51:06.780
asked i'm not making this up folks that asked cbc journalists if they were the subject of
00:51:13.040
hurtful remarks by conservative politicians or rival media uh sheila what's that saying can't take
00:51:22.820
the heat get out of the kitchen how how do they think the rival media is like we're we're supposed
00:51:30.260
to just say that this isn't us this is 100 us doing this to them and i don't care um i am mad that
00:51:37.260
they spent 70 000 uh to pull these people on their hurt feelings can we bring up what hurt their
00:51:43.960
feelings because that makes me happy okay so political polarization is at the root sorry don't
00:51:52.260
scroll so fast i can't read is at the root of most reputational attacks harassment i can't read the rest
00:51:58.120
because my face is blocking it and violence that canadian journalists face according to they don't face any
00:52:05.940
violence we do exactly rivals do like what is their violence and sheila and sometimes the violence
00:52:14.140
is by the state being assaulted and falsely arrested uh by bounties and other members of law enforcement
00:52:21.880
okay there you go uh olivia has skillfully enlarged it for you uh respondents to our survey most likely
00:52:29.680
are most likely to report being accused of political bias this hurt their feelings
00:52:33.820
being told they're in the bag for the liberals which they are hurt their feelings 56 percent face
00:52:39.900
this monthly i wish i wish my job was that easy followed by being incompetent 54 percent unethical 46
00:52:49.120
percent and engaged in criminal activity 19 so the by and large they are accused of being in the bag for
00:52:58.800
the liberals and unethical um over and over and over again and yet they never wonder why people the
00:53:06.700
the peasants are peasanting at them they never think to stop like what why are we so hated universally
00:53:14.100
by the people who pay for us i wonder why that is they never get that far you know what i think is the
00:53:20.580
most important question about this astonishing report and i would like to ask somebody at canadian
00:53:26.360
heritage to deliver an answer how in blue hell did you think that 69 000 to fund this study was in the
00:53:36.760
interest of canadian citizens i.e canadian taxpayers funding the study imagine the single mom who is
00:53:45.560
holding down three part-time jobs you know trying to raise a couple of kids stress beyond belief just to
00:53:53.260
make ends meet ask her about the stress of her job as opposed to some right cbc bureaucrat uh that oh
00:54:02.020
god they want me to stay an extra half hour today are you kidding me right i don't think that seventy
00:54:09.000
thousand dollars by the way we were never polled and we are the ones who are the victims of violence
00:54:14.020
um and the victim of lies on the cbc but yeah seventy thousand dollars to pull the likes of david cochran
00:54:21.360
about how it feels to be forced to lie about ezra levant on national tv and how his his egos holding
00:54:28.200
up after getting absolutely raked over the internet for his caught on camera lies um not a good uh return
00:54:35.600
on investment guys and she'll i know you have a hard out uh many subjects ago but the one i i want to
00:54:41.880
focus on is uh and again it comes from our friend joe warmington although we talked about it yesterday
00:54:47.160
we talked about it yesterday oh it did okay then the land acknowledgement so um did i well then
00:54:53.660
the daily cringe the daily cringe are you ready it's olivia chow oh no olivia chow is part of a daily
00:55:00.900
cringe uh knock me down with a feather check it out folks you know how frustrating it is that you're
00:55:09.700
having a great time uh with kids and uh uh playground or enjoying the cherry blossom that is uh really
00:55:19.300
beautiful or in the winter time bike around or around tobogganing down uh with your kids and then the
00:55:28.580
bathroom is closed well it's now open as soft may 1st it's open now and not only would it be open we are
00:55:39.460
going to fix it and make it a lot better because right now it's not in the best shape and because
00:55:46.540
we were able to upload the garner and the dvp to the provincial government we're able to invest over
00:55:54.380
400 million dollars in fixing a lot of the parks and recreation facilities which will make the place
00:56:01.100
much nicer you know you know you know sheila i remember a day when you'd see the mayor uh doing
00:56:08.900
a ribbon cutting ceremony in front of oh i don't know a new expressway opening here in toronto the
00:56:14.280
benchmark is so low it's about reopening a public outhouse but here's the thing and and olivia chow
00:56:22.040
crucified herself with her own words it needs a lot of work these washrooms are typically shut down over
00:56:29.560
the winter time typically from november 1st till may why aren't you renovating the washrooms when
00:56:37.200
they are already closed the public now we open them up and guess what oh you can't use it we have
00:56:42.760
the plumbers and the drywallers in to do the renovations how does this city even function anymore
00:56:49.680
sheila she's a crazy lady i don't think she's from our planet like what she said she mentioned like
00:56:56.420
biking down to the toboggan hill with your kids you're biking to the toboggan hill with you miss
00:57:02.940
that you're toboggan on your head where are the kids why are you taking a bike in the winter time
00:57:09.720
and even still the washroom would be closed right they open may 1st she's like you know how frustrating
00:57:15.820
it is when you go to the toboggan hill bike down go to the toboggan hill with your kids in the
00:57:21.320
washrooms closed well then the announcement should have been it's going to be open all year then
00:57:26.740
if that's so frustrating but no what is how does that help the person who i guess went with the
00:57:33.500
toboggan on their head and the kids in the basket down to the toboggan hill uh the washroom is still
00:57:39.880
closed then i don't this lady's crazy and by the way we have an ever-growing number of hills in
00:57:45.780
toronto sheila where tobogganing is no longer allowed because of a legal opinion you know once
00:57:52.440
upon a time and i'm not blaming the lawyers because the lawyers will say you know uh little johnny slips
00:57:57.420
and cracks his head we might get sued um normally what you had was city council saying thank you for
00:58:04.880
your opinion we're going to roll the dice we don't want to prevent uh thousands of kids from enjoying
00:58:11.060
winter and now it's hey boss what are you going to do the lawyer says we got to shut down the
00:58:15.700
hills so um there are fewer and fewer of these hills uh that olivia chow was talking about
00:58:22.300
where you you know you can ride your bicycle down in the dead of winter with toboggan right
00:58:29.220
and again how does the washroom help that guy the washroom's closed till may yeah so he's going to
00:58:35.560
schlep down there with the toboggan i don't know dragging behind him with the kids in the toboggan
00:58:39.580
dragging behind him he's going to bike down to the toboggan hill and the washroom's still closed so
00:58:43.120
what is what is the point here she's just taking the sign off the wall is that what this video was
00:58:49.140
about okay but but if olivia chow's making the case that these parts are not seasonal but all year
00:58:58.120
like in the summer you're playing baseball and tossing a frisbee well i shouldn't say frisbee
00:59:02.140
there's actually a motion being floated where kids have to get a permit to toss a frisbee in
00:59:07.680
of course yeah but if you want to put up a tent and defecate in the park it's on the house but if
00:59:14.280
parks are uh four seasons then why aren't the restrooms four seasons too do they not want to
00:59:21.640
heat them is that it i don't know because you'd be worried about the pipes breaking right
00:59:27.240
if they aren't heated maybe i don't know maybe you're worried about people sleeping in them over
00:59:34.300
the winter it is toronto after all yeah i think there's always a time like in at you know 10 p.m
00:59:40.780
11 p.m where they where they do lock them up right but uh oh yeah that would be like grand central
00:59:46.940
station for the homeless squatters uh a bricks and mortar uh bathroom uh with bathroom facilities no
00:59:54.640
less uh steps away from where you're sleeping be a real hotel it's like the ritz yeah uh speaking of
01:00:02.160
which uh so we've got one kooky mare she just is just kooky it's like she's not recently from this
01:00:08.880
planet i feel like she's constantly adjusting to human culture when i see her um quickly i know i'm
01:00:15.700
going to watch this i'm not much of a netflix consumer like not of new content like i'll watch
01:00:20.780
arrested development and stuff like that but a new netflix documentary called train wreck and it is on
01:00:26.720
what they are describing as the mayor of mayhem rob ford no they might call him the mayor of mayhem
01:00:34.940
but rob's ford toronto rob ford's toronto much much better than the current iteration of toronto and i
01:00:42.980
say that just as outside looking in well i can tell you as an insider looking in sheila i will take
01:00:49.360
rob ford ford's toronto of 2010 to 2014 over the shite hole it has descended into right now you know
01:00:58.620
um lincoln jay and i are going to do uh a series of events uh a little uh a whole bunch of little
01:01:05.160
mini essays it's tentatively called uh menzoids uh declining toronto it by every benchmark this city
01:01:13.240
which you should call it menzoids mayhem what do you mean i didn't create the mayhem it's it's
01:01:20.440
the lefties there but once upon a time 1987 i do believe peter rusinoff called toronto new york
01:01:27.320
is run by the swiss oh those days are long long now i think it's more like new york run by portland
01:01:35.440
or or or yeah new york san francisco is run by port-a-prince uh but it is uh those days are
01:01:46.240
sadly long gone and what i want to see and i i'm very intrigued by this documentary sheila because i
01:01:51.640
want you know rob ford i dearly miss mayor ford he was a great mayor for the city he had addiction
01:02:03.200
issues and we really saw the true colors of the left right when it come they've always lectured us
01:02:11.160
that if someone has some kind of addiction issue you embrace them you give them help you help them
01:02:16.400
rehabilitate but they attacked attacked and attacked ford the rivals on council and the maggots as rob and
01:02:26.180
doug called the mainstream media oh doug doesn't call the maggots anymore he loves them now uh now that
01:02:32.080
he's the premier uh he's going along to get along or he's showing his true colors that's another thing
01:02:38.220
sheila uh too many people myself included once upon a time thought that rob ford and doug ford
01:02:45.880
were one in the same man uh that is a a different kettle of fish so even though rob had substance abuse
01:02:55.160
issues he still performed as an excellent mayor i will take rob ford's city of toronto over olivia
01:03:03.620
chow city of toronto or even john tory city of toronto any day of the week yeah i mean i have a
01:03:10.360
hard time listening to people who are pro handing out drugs to addicts come down hard on rob ford yeah i
01:03:16.160
mean you have to decide which where you fall down on this um rob ford my favorite rob ford memory besides
01:03:24.340
where he's like going through it's two minutes long and he's just like going through all the perks
01:03:28.180
that you get as a member of city council just sitting at his desk showing like all the the goodies
01:03:33.240
these people get is when cbc's oh i forget which it was the cbc radio program they called him while he
01:03:41.820
was actively coaching football because he volunteered to coach football and they're like oh you you seem
01:03:47.260
busy he's like yeah i'm coaching football like what do you want you know my favorite rob ford moment
01:03:54.660
sheila was before he became mayor he used to be on john oakley's uh morning show every thursday uh i know
01:04:01.880
this well because i was on the media in the message panel that came after rob ford and rob ford as a city
01:04:08.280
council would just come in with stacks of wasteful spending files and the one i'll never forget sheila
01:04:15.020
was a i i hope i got the number right it was either 25 000 or 50 000 let's say it's 50 000
01:04:21.200
it was a 50 000 city of toronto program to teach homeless people how to stilt walk like
01:04:32.520
what there's is cirque de soleil hiring on mass right now like how is that how is that a life skill
01:04:40.600
i would go to that i would just out of morbid curiosity if that were cirque de soleil like that
01:04:47.920
i would absolutely go okay we've got some chats and i gotta i gotta film something i'm on a hard out
01:04:54.720
which i ran over already uh knowledge is i did knowledge is power it's a six bucks and says the
01:05:01.140
bank of canada has made recent announcements what are your thoughts on the future of canada i think we
01:05:04.580
covered that earlier we talked about um the bank of canada saying that uh our economy is in real
01:05:10.400
threat from these tariffs yeah we know um thanks i think i'm more concerned about that rising
01:05:17.680
unemployment rate and the high unemployment rates in places where housing is inflated and we're i
01:05:25.240
uh they are foretelling a housing crash in those same areas so i think that is just real real bad
01:05:32.400
and if the future of canada and references that um you know year of 2040 uh my advice is
01:05:39.860
uh go to bass pro and stock up on uh some bow and arrows yeah get real good at living off the land
01:05:48.440
yeah uh peace gofield 10 gives us five bucks and says got me sheila touche did i give you a hard
01:05:54.380
time because you said this show talks about alberta too much i think i think that was from yesterday
01:06:00.720
uh i think he said we talked about alberta too much but we were talking about separation everybody's
01:06:05.640
talking about separation doug ford won't shut up about it so um seems like a big deal um alex greer
01:06:12.940
699 i don't see a comment alex but it was good seeing you at uh i think i saw you at the nfa
01:06:23.800
and uh we've got pina b gives us five bucks if the government didn't fund mainstream media then
01:06:31.860
random small but important events wouldn't get covered by independence thoughts also love you guys
01:06:37.940
uh well you know whether or not the government is funded or the mainstream media is funded by
01:06:47.540
the government i still don't think they would tell the other side of the story i think they are by
01:06:51.900
nature ideologically captured uh they just stay in business doing it thanks to the funding of the
01:06:59.760
federal government so i don't think they would be any nicer to you uh they just have more they just
01:07:04.880
have your money to ignore your issues or be mean to you by the way sheila do you like cycling
01:07:11.020
yes i mean it's fine all right i'm not a like a david menzies cyclist i have a mountain bike
01:07:18.200
well it's the reason why i'm uh merely fat as opposed to circus fat my cycling and that you know
01:07:24.600
and i full confession i was obsessed with looking at the cycling shoes uh for sale at that bermuda bike
01:07:31.380
shop because i can tell you folks um those are over 300 bucks a pair i know that because i have a pair of
01:07:39.340
cycling shoes that date back to uh 97 and the fabric was separating from the um the sole that you clip
01:07:49.140
into the pedals and i was looking at the prices and i thought holy smokes um i i can't afford that
01:07:56.100
sheila there is a point to my story i went to my local shoe repair store he fixed those shoes for 10 bucks
01:08:03.160
and all i'm saying is i think those people that are in that kind of service business where people
01:08:10.200
are starting to fix things up as opposed to re you know repurchasing a new one simply because
01:08:17.220
there's no money i think that might be the sector that's going to do well in the years ahead
01:08:21.400
yeah i don't know i i just i just have a bad taste in my mouth of like for cyclists in general
01:08:29.420
because i'm like why do we keep spending all the money to make bike lanes for apparently for you
01:08:35.600
people to drag your toboggans down in the winter no no no i am a cyclist against bike lanes i've
01:08:42.500
always cycled in traffic very rarely having a problem i'm not one of those guys so um i'm i'm
01:08:49.380
you know uh with you on that and um but uh that'll be part of menzoids declining toronto too
01:08:56.100
uh well sheila thank you so much for uh co-hosting and thank you for everybody that
01:09:03.100
